Profile

Bazarragchaa Tumurbat is A.R.M. Management's Partner for Mongolia and Central Asia — advising on market entry, financial regulation, and institutional access in one of Asia's most resource-rich and least intermediated frontier regions.

His grounding is regulator-side: twenty-four years at the Bank of Mongolia, the country's central bank. As founding Head of Mongolia's Financial Information Unit (2006–2016), he built the national anti-money-laundering architecture from inception — drafting the legal framework, establishing the FIU that was admitted to the Egmont Group in 2009, and leading the national effort that took Mongolia out of the FATF's ICRG review process in 2014. He served as co-chair of the APG Typologies Working Group from 2014 and led Mongolia's delegations to FATF and APG. As Senior Supervisor (2016–2022) he conducted prudential and AML/CFT supervision of Mongolia's banking sector.

From 2022 to 2026, he served as First Secretary for Trade and Economic Affairs at the Embassy of Mongolia in Brussels, covering EU–Mongolia trade relations, the World Customs Organization, and the Energy Charter — work that included establishing the Mongolian Chamber of Commerce to the EU (Brussels, 2023) and supporting the European Investment Bank's first entry into the Mongolian market.

Bazarragchaa holds a Master of Arts in Economics from the University of Colorado Denver and works in Mongolian, English, and Russian, with working French.
