The Mongolia Economic Forum 2025 began on July 8 under the theme “Together for Tomorrow.” Over two days, government leaders, investors, and global experts are gathering in Ulaanbaatar. They aim to chart a new course for Investor-Friendly Mongolia through strong economic reforms.
This year, the agenda focuses on six main areas. These include urban development, economic resilience, foreign direct investment, supply chains, critical minerals, and risk management. Over 3,000 participants are attending, including officials, foreign and domestic investors, international bodies, and local businesses.
Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav opened the forum with bold commitments. He outlined a 10-year strategy to double GDP and boost national wealth. The Prime Minister emphasized Mongolia’s vast reserves of rare earth elements and its energy-export potential.
According to the Prime Minister, the government will rely more on public-private partnerships. These partnerships will drive both mining and non-mining mega projects. He added that Investor-Friendly Mongolia must become more than a slogan. Real transformation happens only when investors themselves praise Mongolia’s business environment.
He also announced that Mongolia will speed up digital transformation. The goal is to ensure fast, transparent services for both citizens and businesses. In the next five years, Mongolia plans to become an energy-exporting nation while growing sectors like agriculture, tourism, and renewable energy.
On the policy front, the Ministry of Economy and Development shared updates. Anar Bat-Ireedui, Director General of the Investment Policy Department, detailed upcoming legislation. These laws aim to improve investment, boost trade, and strengthen legal protections.
Ongoing trade negotiations with Japan and the Eurasian Economic Union could further diversify Mongolia’s economy. The government’s 100-Day Action Plan includes four important draft laws. These cover investment, green finance, public-private partnerships, and the Chamber of Commerce.
The forum’s second day explores future-focused topics. These include sustainable development, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and clean energy.
With strategic plans, legal reforms, and a clear vision, Mongolia moves toward becoming an Investor-Friendly Mongolia. The forum underlines a shared goal—to turn Mongolia into a dynamic, transparent, and welcoming economy for global investment.
