世界银行集团周六表示，蒙古已成为世界银行国际开发协会（IDA）为最贫困国家设立的基金的新捐助国，此前蒙古曾作为IDA资金的受援国近三十年。
The World Bank Group said on Saturday that Mongolia has become a new donor to the International Development Association fund for the poorest countries, after previously spending nearly three decades as a recipient of IDA funding.
该发展贷款机构表示，蒙古议会批准向最新一轮IDA融资轮次捐助48亿图格里克（约130万美元），标志着该国发展历程的一个里程碑。
The development lender said that Mongolia's parliament approved a 4.8 billion tugrik ($1.3 million) contribution to the latest IDA funding round, marking a milestone in the country's development journey.
自1991年成为世界银行成员国以来，蒙古累计获得超过16.2亿美元的发展融资，其中包括用于交通、农村发展、卫生和教育的IDA支持。蒙古于2020年7月毕业离开IDA支持，成为世界银行主要贷款机构——国际复兴开发银行（面向中等收入国家）的客户。
Since becoming a World Bank member country in 1991, Mongolia has received more than $1.62 billion in development financing, including IDA support for transport, rural development, health and education. Mongolia graduated from IDA support in July 2020, becoming a client of the World Bank's main lending arm for middle-income countries, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
“蒙古对IDA21的捐助标志着我们与世界银行长期合作伙伴关系的重要里程碑，也体现了我们对国际团结的承诺，”蒙古财政部长门赛汗·扎格贾夫在世界银行发布的声明中表示。
"Mongolia’s contribution to IDA21 marks an important milestone in our longstanding partnership with the World Bank and reflects our commitment to international solidarity," Mongolian Finance Minister Mendsaikhan Zagdjav said in a statement released by the World Bank.
“我们曾直接受益于IDA的支持，深刻认识到优惠融资在帮助各国减贫、增强韧性和扩大机遇方面发挥的关键作用。在继续推进蒙古自身发展优先事项的同时，我们很自豪能够支持其他国家实现自身的发展目标。”}
"Having benefited firsthand from IDA’s support, we recognize the vital role of concessional financing in helping countries reduce poverty, build resilience, and expand opportunities. As we continue to advance Mongolia's own development priorities, we are proud to support other countries in pursuing theirs."
