THE 10TH IPAF TRAINING SEMINAR “STRENGTHENING CAPACITY IN PERSONAL NPL RESOLUTION AND PORTFOLIO-BASED TECHNIQUES” TO BE HELD IN MONGOLIA
On May 14–15, 2026, the 10th Training Seminar of the International Public Asset Management Companies Forum (IPAF) will be held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
The seminar program, jointly organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Mongolia Asset Management Corporation (MAMCO), has been developed in response to the evolving needs of IPAF member institutions. The primary focus will be on enhancing existing methodologies for retail non-performing loans (NPL) resolution, as well as transitioning from fragmented, asset-by-asset approaches to portfolio-based asset management.
Accordingly, the program will cover two key pillars:
- resolution of NPLs of individuals, retail loans, and micro-enterprises;
- enhancement of valuation methodologies and portfolio analytics to support large-scale transactions and market-level scaling.
The opening session will feature the 2026 economic outlook, key findings from ADB’s NPL Watch Asia 2026, as well as updates on the Ulaanbaatar Initiative.
The first day of the seminar will include technical presentations and interactive discussions, covering topics such as implementation of technical solutions and workflows, borrower rehabilitation, performance monitoring, and valuation models.
The second day will focus on the practical application of the presented approaches. Through structured working group discussions, participants will assess institutional workflows, valuation practices, and organizational readiness for portfolio-based scaling.
The seminar will conclude with group presentations, certificate awards, and opportunities for professional networking.
By the end of the seminar, participants are expected to:
- strengthen operational approaches to retail NPL resolution;
- improve performance monitoring and risk management systems;
- enhance technical capacity in valuation and portfolio management.
Overall, the seminar will serve as an important platform for IPAF members to deepen professional expertise and build institutional capacity for sustainable, market-based approaches to distressed asset management.
