Investment Developments and Opportunities in Mongolia
Mongolia, a large country three times the size of France, but with a population of
under three million, may not be on the investment radar for many. However, new
found mineral wealth has the potential to transform this tiny, landlocked, Northeast
Asian economy into a global commodities giant. From a GDP of just US$6 billion
in 2010, Mongolia has the potential to become a new Qatar, Norway or South
Africa if it can unlock the treasures it possesses and turn them to productive use. The problems
however in doing so are huge. The country lacks institutions and infrastructure, and the specter of
despotic regimes, rampant inflation and massive corruption are all waiting in the wings to derail
the potential. In this special report we demonstrate just how Mongolia is poised to become a global
player in commodities and the first port of call for manufacturers, the potential problems, solutions
and the risks and opportunities the new Mongolia provides.
