Foreword
Railways are essential for the development of the Mongolian economy, partly due to the importance of the country’s mineral exports and the long distances to its markets. Effective development of the railway network can also help Mongolia diversify its economy and make Mongolia’s development more inclusive. Until recently, the only railway carrier in Mongolia was the Ulaanbaatar Railways (UBTZ), which is jointly owned by the governments of Mongolia and the Russian Federation. With the development of the mining sector, the railway market is changing, new private railway companies have been established, and several major proposed railway investments are planned.
The State Policy on Railway Transportation was adopted by the Mongolian Parliament in 2010. This policy establishes the context for the liberalization of the railway freight market including the modernization of its regulatory framework. A key part of the new regulatory framework is to allow any qualified train operator to use any railway infrastructure, a system known as open access,
and to charge the operators infrastructure tariffs for the right to operate. The Ministry of Roads and Transportation therefore requested technical assistance from the Asian Development Bank to provide advice on development of a system of infrastructure tariffs for Mongolia.
Open access is used for rail freight in Australia and the European Union, and similar arrangements are being developed in Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine. A more restricted form of access is used on the private railways of North America. This paper reviews the infrastructure tariffs charged by the infrastructure managers in these regions in order to learn lessons for Mongolia and proposes a system of tariffs for the use of railway infrastructure to enable liberalization of the freight market.
While this study was being prepared, the Government of Mongolia took steps to begin bifurcating UBTZ into its infrastructure and transport operations parts. This required the urgent establishment of guidelines and tariffs for the use of UBTZ infrastructure. An interim system of tariffs, based on earlier work by the Ministry of Roads and Transportation and UBTZ, was adopted through ministerial orders in late 2011. These orders are reproduced in Appendix 2.
The Ministerial Order on Tariff Methodology has many elements in common with the approach and methodology proposed in this report, but there are also differences, which are described in Appendix 2. The adopted methodology provides a basis for separating the financial performance of UBTZ transport operations from UBTZ infrastructure, at least in the short term, but it is unlikely to provide a return on investment in infrastructure sufficient to draw private sector interest. The approach recommended in this report can be used to augment the methodology and facilitate private infrastructure development in the railway sector.

Executive Summary
Background and Purpose of the Report
The Mongolian railway market is dominated by the Ulaanbaatar Railways (UBTZ), which was founded in 1949 and is jointly owned (50/50) by the Government of Mongolia and the Russian Railways Joint-Stock Company. It is responsible for infrastructure and operations on the main line between the borders with the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, and on some branch lines and a separate section in the east. Until recently, it was the only railway carrier in Mongolia. The Mongolian Railway Company (MTZ) is a joint-stock company 100% owned by the state that was established in 2008 to act as a recipient of foreign aid. MTZ is expected to take responsibility for new railway construction and implementation of the government’s railway network plan.
The State Policy on Railway Transportation was adopted by Mongolia’s Parliament in 2010. This policy addresses the future development of the railway network in Mongolia, the liberalization of the freight market, and modernization of the regulatory framework. With the rapid development of the mining sector, the railways in Mongolia are in urgent need of development and it is expected that the private sector will play a major role. Already Boroo Tumur Eruu Gol, an iron ore company, has 85 kilometers of railway and 3,000 wagons (hauled by UBTZ on the UBTZ network).
This study examines the system of tariffs for the use of railway infrastructure that is needed to enable liberalization of the freight market.
International Experience with Reform
The report first examines international experience with railway reform since it is railway reform that mainly determines the requirements of the infrastructure tariff system. The study reviews experience in the following regions and countries:
The review of international experience of restructuring provides the following lessons for Mongolia:
Competition should lead to reductions in customer tariffs and improved service, which benefit customers and the economy. However, unless competition is carefully planned, it may reduce returns on infrastructure investment, thereby discouraging such investment and long-term growth. This is particularly important when relying on private sector equity investment. It is difficult to attract private
