On October 25th, we organized a conference on “ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE OF MONGOLIA ON MINERALS: CHALLENGES AND RECOMMENDATIONS” in collaboration with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Ministry of Mining and Heavy Industry.

On this conference, all studies conducted under the “Capacity Building on the Natural Resource and Mining in Mongolia Project”, which was implemented in 2016-2022 with support from JICA, were presented. Within this project, a series of more than 20 studies were conducted, and those studies focused on efficient management of mining revenue, supporting FDI, fair and transparent contracting, improvement of trading of mineral commodities, and defining the obstacles for the sustainable development of the mining sector.
