mongolia ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Mongolia's extensive mineral
deposits and attendant growth in mining-sector activities have transformed
Mongolia's economy, which traditionally has been dependent on herding and
agriculture. Mongolia's copper, gold, coal, molybdenum, fluorspar, uranium,
tin, and tungsten deposits, among others, have attracted foreign direct
investment. Soviet assistance, at its height one-third of GDP, disappeared
almost overnight in 1990 and 1991 at the time of the dismantlement of the USSR.
The following decade saw Mongolia endure both deep recession, because of
political inaction and natural disasters, as well as economic growth, because
of reform-embracing, free-market economics and extensive privatization of the
formerly state-run economy. The country opened a fledgling stock exchange in
1991. Mongolia joined the World Trade Organization in 1997 and seeks to expand
its participation in regional economic and trade regimes. Growth averaged
nearly 9% per year in 2004-08 largely because of high copper prices globally
and new gold production. By late 2008, Mongolia was hit hard by the global
financial crisis. Slower global economic growth hurt the country's exports,
notably copper, and slashed government revenues. As a result, Mongolia's real
economy contracted 1.3% in 2009. In early 2009, the International Monetary Fund
reached a $236 million Stand-by Arrangement with Mongolia and the country has
largely emerged from the crisis with better regulations and closer supervision.
The banking sector strengthened but weaknesses remain. In October 2009,
Mongolia passed long-awaited legislation on an investment agreement to develop
the Oyu Tolgoi mine, considered to be among the world's largest untapped
copper-gold deposits. Mongolia's ongoing dispute with a foreign investor over
Oyu Tolgoi, however, has called into question the attractiveness of Mongolia as
a destination for foreign direct investment. Negotiations to develop the
massive Tavan Tolgoi coal field also have stalled. The economy has grown more
than 10% per year since 2010, largely on the strength of commodity exports to
nearby countries and high government spending domestically. Mongolia's economy,
however, faces near-term economic risks from the government's loose fiscal and
monetary policies, which are contributing to high inflation, and from
uncertainties in foreign demand for Mongolian exports. Trade with China
represents more than half of Mongolia's total external trade - China receives
more than 90% of Mongolia's exports and is Mongolia's largest supplier.
Mongolia has relied on Russia for energy supplies, leaving it vulnerable to
price increases; in the first 11 months of 2013, Mongolia purchased 76% of its
gasoline and diesel fuel and a substantial amount of electric power from
Russia. A drop in foreign direct investment and a decrease in Chinese demand
for Mongolia's mineral exports are putting pressure on Mongolia's balance of
payments. Remittances from Mongolians working abroad, particularly in South
Korea, are significant.
