My Mongolia: A Personal Encounter

J. Peter Morrow (Pete) Morrow was an international banker from the United States who arrived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in 2000 to turn around struggling Agricultural bank, formerly the Soviet monobank serving the entire country. His job was to help lead the eighty- year- old institution into the twenty-first century and build into a competitive modern organization. His endeavor was success and the failing bank was transformed into a thriving modern institution, today's Khan Bank of Mongolia. Also, Pete made Mongolia his home and stayed for the rest of his life, until he passed away in August 2016. My Mongolia: A personal Encounter is the story of this grand adventure. The book describes Pete's experiences in endeavoring to revive a key economic institution, the personalities and exploits of the Mongolians he had the privilege of meeting and working with, and the enormous changes that have occurred in the country in very compressed period. It also describes the historical and cultural background in which he worked.
