Rio-Glencore deal closer than ever with premium and CEO in focus www.bloomberg.com

Glencore Plc boss Gary Nagle has called it the most obvious deal in mining. His predecessor and mentor Ivan Glasenberg has been trying to pull it off for nearly two decades. And yet the merger of Glencore with Rio Tinto Group has proven elusive – until now.
People familiar with the matter say that the current round of talks to create the world’s largest miner, which the two companies confirmed on Thursday night, are the most serious they have ever been, while emphasizing they are still at an early stage. At the heart of the shift is a concern within Rio that its iron ore-heavy portfolio could be left behind as copper M&A frenzy sweeps the sector, as well as a configuration of personalities on both sides who are better able to come to an agreement, the people said.
When the deal was last seriously discussed in late 2024, the talks foundered over Rio’s unwillingness to pay a big premium, as well as differences in the cultures fostered by Rio’s then-CEO and the Glencore leadership. At the time, Glencore pushed for Nagle to run the combined company.
Now Rio has a new boss and both sides appear more willing to compromise. Rio may ultimately consider paying a takeover premium, some of the people said, while other people suggested that the Glencore side is open to being pragmatic on the subject of management — recognizing that a larger firm paying a takeover premium would most likely seek to install its leadership in the new company. 
What’s more, a shift in investors’ attitudes toward coal mining means that Rio could buy Glencore outright with less fear of a backlash. Bloomberg earlier reported that Rio was open to retaining Glencore’s vast coal business.
Still, talks are at a very early stage and the people cautioned that the two sides are still some way from reaching a deal. Even if they can, any combination would be highly complex and require the approval of numerous regulators at a time of heightened government scrutiny of natural resources.
“It does feel like these two sides want a deal,” said George Cheveley, a portfolio manager at asset manager Ninety One, who owns Glencore shares. “Glencore have a lot of brownfield and greenfield copper projects and Rio don’t, but Rio have the expertise to build them and run them.”
Representatives for Rio and Glencore both declined to comment. 
In the 2024 talks, Glencore had asked for a merger ratio that would leave its shareholders with about 40% of the combined company, according to several of the people. If the same level remained a benchmark for Glencore’s negotiations, that would represent a premium of just over 25% relative to the two companies’ undisturbed share prices. 
Two people familiar with Rio thinking said it may be willing to consider paying a takeover premium, although other people cautioned it was too early in the process to assess. 
The idea of a combination of the two companies has been discussed several times over more than a decade. It was first floated before the global financial crisis of 2008, and then revived in 2014 – when Rio quickly rejected an informal approach from Glencore – before conversations resumed in earnest in 2024.
While those talks ended without a deal, the idea of combining the two companies never went away. Bloomberg reported last September that Glencore had continued to work behind the scenes with its bankers on the contours of a potential deal.
This time, it was Rio that re-initiated the most recent conversations, according to some of the people.
The miner had undergone a key change since the failed 2024 discussions: it had a new chief executive. Jakob Stausholm, a sober Dane with no background in the cut-and-thrust world of mining, had been asked by the board to step down, with his replacement announced as long-time Rio executive Simon Trott in July.
For Rio, the fundamental case for buying Glencore boils down to copper. While the miner is a significant player in markets from aluminum and copper to lithium, iron ore still accounted for more than half of its earnings in its most recent financial report.
The medium-term outlook for iron ore is downbeat, with China’s cooling property market sapping demand while Rio’s huge new project in Guinea is poised to flood the market with supply. Copper, meanwhile, has long been the most coveted metal for mining executives who see a bright future for the metal as the trend to electrification supercharges demand.
Rio has a relative dearth of copper development prospects as its vast Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia reaches capacity. Glencore, on the other hand, spent an investor day last month highlighting its array of copper development options in Argentina, Peru and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The merger deal struck by Anglo American Plc and Teck Resources Ltd. in September and the recent surge in copper prices to record highs above $13,000 a ton only heightened the pressure on Rio to act. 
The company’s executives recognized that its own relative reliance on iron ore, together with Glencore’s growth plans if it is able to achieve them, meant that waiting would likely only make the deal more expensive, according to some of the people.
There remain many complexities to navigate, even if the two companies are able to agree terms. Glencore’s coal business is still problematic for some large Rio shareholders because of sustainability concerns. And other parts of its business – from its trading unit, which in 2022 admitted to widespread historical corruption, to its assets in countries like Congo and Kazakhstan – could prove unattractive to some. 
The transaction structure is also likely to be complicated by Rio’s dual UK and Australian listings, while a successful deal would be scrutinized by antitrust regulators everywhere from China to Canada. 
Still, speaking to Bloomberg on Friday, large shareholders of both companies were tentatively supportive of a potential deal.
“We’re not pushing for a deal, but we’re open to any and all options that create and highlight value for Glencore shareholders,” said Justin Hance, a partner at Chicago-based Harris Associates LP, which is Glencore’s 11th-largest shareholder, according to Bloomberg data. “The attractiveness of any deal would depend not only on the shareholder ratio, but also on the structure, terms, and finer details of the transaction.”

Mongolia's inflation down to 7.5 pct in December 2025 www.xinhuanet.com

Mongolia's inflation stood at 7.5 percent in December 2025, as measured by the consumer price index, down by 0.8 percentage points from a year earlier, data from the country's National Statistics Office showed Friday.
The agency attributed the decline to a significant increase in forex reserves and the stable exchange rate of the national currency, the Tugrik, the NSO said.
Mongolia's central bank targets an inflation rate within a range of 6 percent (+/- 2.0 percentage points) from 2027 to support macroeconomic and financial sector stability.
The landlocked Asian country's economy grew 5.9 percent year on year in the third quarter of 2025, according to the statistical agency.

Mongolia Energy Faces MNT 412.3 Billion Tax Liability After Losing Mongolian Court Case www.tipranks.com

Mongolia Energy Corporation has disclosed that its Mongolian subsidiary MoEnCo has lost a legal challenge in the Mongolian Administrative Court over a tax reassessment imposed by the country’s Tax Dispute Resolution Council. The court ruled in favour of the tax authority, leaving MoEnCo liable for reassessed taxes totaling MNT 412.3 billion (about HK$902.6 million) for the 2017–2020 period, a sizeable potential liability that could weigh on the group’s financial position and cash flows. The company expects a written judgment within about two weeks and is seeking legal advice on filing an appeal within the permitted time frame, while cautioning shareholders and potential investors about trading its shares amid the unresolved tax dispute and associated uncertainties.

Sustainability Related Reporting: Readiness Assessment Mongolia Report www.undp.org

This Readiness Assessment was developed under the Sustainability Disclosure and Management Hubs (SDMH) Programme, led by UNDP Financial Centres for Sustainability (UNDP FC4S) as part of the EU-funded Sustainable Finance Advisory Hub (SFAH). The initiative was carried out in close collaboration with the Ministry of Finance of Mongolia and a wide range of national stakeholders. 
Mongolia’s financial and corporate sectors are making steady progress toward adopting the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and S2), which set a global benchmark for sustainability and climate-related financial reporting. This readiness assessment explores the country’s capacity to implement these standards and outlines key strengths, challenges, and strategic priorities for a phased and locally adapted rollout. The findings are based on a robust methodology, including a review of relevant laws and policies, a national survey of 189 organizations, a pilot reporting exercise with a major listed company, international comparisons, and extensive stakeholder engagement.
The findings will serve as a foundation for developing policies and capacity-building programs that ensure the adoption of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards is both effective and suited to Mongolia’s context.

Government to Formally Approach Rio Tinto, Oyu Tolgoi to Safeguard National Interest www.montsame.mn

A temporary parliamentary investigative committee was established by the State Great Khural (Parliament) to oversee documents and activities related to safeguarding Mongolia’s interests and increasing the benefits derived from the exploitation of the Oyu Tolgoi group of deposits.
The committee organized an open hearing to examine evidence from December 8 to 12, 2025, and the parliament adopted a resolution instructing the government on follow-up measures to be taken. The temporary committee concluded that the Oyu Tolgoi Investment Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement do not fully meet Mongolia’s interests; that benefits to Mongolia have declined sharply due to cost overruns and the timeline for receiving dividends has been delayed; that Mongolia’s participation in decision-making has not been substantively ensured; and that the project lacks sufficient transparency.
At its regular session on January 7, 2026, the government discussed actions to implement the parliamentary resolution on measures to be taken following the special inspection and open hearings aimed at safeguarding Mongolia’s interests and increasing returns from the Oyu Tolgoi project. The government decided to formally approach the management of Oyu Tolgoi LLC and the investor Rio Tinto Group. The composition of the working group appointed by the government to conduct negotiations with the project’s investors has been renewed as part of efforts to implement the parliamentary resolution.
According to the Government Media and Public Relations Department, the government will raise a number of specific issues with Oyu Tolgoi LLC and the management of Rio Tinto Group within the framework of ongoing negotiations with the project’s investors. These include bringing the contractual terms into line with Mongolia’s national interests; clarifying the timeline for receiving dividends on the 34-percent state ownership; ensuring that shareholders benefit on an equal and fair basis; making financial reporting and project costs transparent and open; carrying out independent audits; substantively ensuring Mongolia’s participation at the decision-making level; and ensuring parliamentary oversight over project costs and financing.

From Toronto, Canada to Phu Quoc, Vietnam: Mongolia’s Bold 2026 Aviation Expansion Includes New Flights, Visa-Free Travel, and Airport Upgrades! www.travelandtourworld.com

As of January 7, 2026, Mongolia’s aviation sector is experiencing its most significant expansion in decades, as the country opens its skies to more direct international flights and modernized infrastructure. This growth is driven by the government’s “Years to Visit Mongolia” initiative, which aims to boost tourism and elevate Mongolia’s status as a global travel destination. Key milestones for 2026 include new long-haul flight routes connecting Mongolia with North America, Southeast Asia, and Europe, alongside a major expansion of Chinggis Khaan International Airport. The government’s strategic vision to enhance global connectivity is coming to life with several new aviation developments confirmed for this year.
What’s New in Mongolia’s Aviation Sector in 2026?
2026 marks a year of unprecedented growth for Mongolia’s air transport network. Significant efforts are underway to increase direct connectivity with international destinations, as well as enhance the country’s infrastructure and visa policies to support this expansion. Some of the most exciting developments include new international flight routes, upgraded fleets, and infrastructure improvements at the newly established Chinggis Khaan International Airport.
1. New International Routes
The launch of several flagship international routes is one of the key highlights of 2026. These new routes are expected to increase direct connectivity between Mongolia and major global markets.
Toronto to Ulaanbaatar (Air Transat): A historic development for Mongolia’s aviation sector is the confirmation of direct flights between Toronto (YYZ) and Ulaanbaatar (UBN), set to commence in June 2026. This route, operated by Air Transat, will be the first direct link between Canada and Mongolia, offering two flights per week on Thursdays and Sundays. The Airbus A321LR, configured with Club Class and Economy, will serve the route. The flight duration will be approximately 13 hours and 30 minutes, cutting down the previous 25-hour journey via other connecting hubs like Seoul or Istanbul.
Singapore Connectivity (MIAT Mongolian Airlines): MIAT Mongolian Airlines has upgraded its Ulaanbaatar–Singapore route to a year-round service. Starting in early 2026, the airline will deploy the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on the route to cater to growing demand. This is a major milestone for the carrier and underscores the increasing demand for connections between Mongolia and Southeast Asia.
Vietnam Expansion (Hunnu Air): After successful charter trials, Hunnu Air is set to expand its services to Vietnam in 2026. Scheduled flights will operate to popular tourist destinations like Phu Quoc and Nha Trang. The airline is responding to a surge in demand for leisure travel between Vietnam and Mongolia, especially for winter and spring seasons.
China and Regional Growth: In line with the “Air Silk Road” initiative, MIAT and Hunnu Air are increasing flight frequencies to key cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hohhot. This move is expected to strengthen regional air links and foster greater trade and tourism between Mongolia and its neighboring countries.
2. Airport Infrastructure Expansion
Chinggis Khaan International Airport, which opened in 2021, is undergoing a significant expansion to accommodate the growing volume of passengers. The expansion project, authorized by the Mongolian government, aims to increase the airport’s annual capacity beyond the current limit of 2 million passengers.
Terminal Expansion Project: The expansion will include new facilities and an upgraded terminal to handle the increasing flow of international travelers. The project is part of the government’s broader effort to enhance Mongolia’s tourism infrastructure and meet the demands of the growing aviation sector.
Digital Integration: In line with global trends, Chinggis Khaan International Airport is implementing new technology to streamline passenger services. By mid-2026, the airport will introduce Smart Gate technology and digital arrival cards. This will replace traditional paper forms, making the customs process smoother for international travelers.
3. Policy and Visa-Free Travel
Mongolia is also enhancing its appeal to international visitors by extending the visa-free travel policy for several countries. This initiative is expected to increase the number of inbound tourists and improve Mongolia’s overall accessibility.
Visa-Free Travel Extension: In a major policy shift, the Mongolian government has extended its visa-free travel regime until December 31, 2026. Citizens of 34 countries, including most European nations, Australia, and New Zealand, will be able to visit Mongolia for up to 30 days without needing a visa. South Korean nationals are also granted an extended 90-day visa-free stay throughout 2026.
Streamlined Entry: Alongside the visa-free policy, travelers will benefit from the new digital arrival card system, which will be mandatory for international visitors by mid-2026. This system is designed to eliminate long queues at the airport and expedite the entry process.
4. Fleet Modernization
To keep pace with the growing number of international flights, Mongolia’s national carriers are modernizing their fleets. The updates are part of the “Soaring Skies” strategy, which aims to enhance Mongolia’s global connectivity.
MIAT Mongolian Airlines: MIAT has expanded its long-haul fleet by adding more Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. These state-of-the-art aircraft will be used on long-haul routes to Europe and the newly launched Toronto route.
Hunnu Air: The airline is expanding its fleet by incorporating more Embraer E190 aircraft. These regional jets will help Hunnu Air expand its services to regional hubs in Central Asia and Western China, enabling more frequent and efficient connectivity.
5. Additional Flight Updates
In addition to the flagship routes, several other key updates are planned for 2026:
United Airlines (Newark to Ulaanbaatar): United Airlines will resume its seasonal non-stop service from Newark (EWR) to Ulaanbaatar (UBN) starting April 30, 2026. This will further enhance connectivity between Mongolia and the United States, particularly for travelers from the New York metropolitan area.
MIAT’s Year-Round Service (Singapore & Istanbul): As of January 2026, MIAT Mongolian Airlines has upgraded its Singapore route to year-round service. The carrier has also made similar changes to its Istanbul route, ensuring more consistent service on key international routes.
2026 Aviation Milestone Table
Event Date Impact
Air Transat Launch June 2026 First direct non-stop flight from Canada.
Visa-Free Extension January 2026 Covers 34 countries for the full year.
Digital Arrival Cards Q2 2026 Full transition to paperless immigration.
San Francisco Service Late 2026 Pending FAA Cat 1 certification (Targeted for Q4).
Conclusion: Why 2026 Is the Year to Visit Mongolia
Mongolia’s aviation expansion in 2026 marks a pivotal moment for the country’s tourism and global connectivity. The launch of new international routes, the modernization of fleets, and the strategic extension of the visa-free regime all signal the country’s growing ambition to become a leading tourist destination. As these developments unfold, travelers around the world can expect more accessible, efficient, and exciting travel options to Mongolia than ever before.
With direct flights from cities like Toronto, Singapore, and Newark, alongside improved infrastructure and digital innovations, Mongolia is well-positioned to welcome millions of visitors in the coming years. Whether you’re a first-time traveler or returning to explore more of Mongolia’s vast landscapes and rich history, 2026 is the year to experience everything this unique destination has to offer.

Parliament Supports Solar Ger Initiative Under New Regulatory Reforms www.montsame.mn

 Under the Parliament Speaker’s “Choloolye” red-tape reduction initiative, Mongolia is streamlining approval procedures that previously required up to 15 procedural steps and an average of one year for a single household to install a solar panel. A Parliamentary Resolution formalizing these reforms was adopted last month.
Aligned with the 2026–2030 National Development Policy, the Investment Program, and the Government’s 2024–2028 Action Program, a flagship policy under this reform is the “100,000 Solar Gers” Initiative, which aims to equip 100,000 ger-area households by 2035 with integrated solar panels, electric heating, and battery storage systems.
The initiative applies a multi-step, systems-thinking approach that addresses not only technology selection and feasibility, but also:
simplified grid connection for solar and battery systems of up to 20 kW, using standardized designs without the need for individual technical specifications;
quarterly payments for surplus electricity supplied to the grid;
grid connectivity and related technical bottlenecks;
monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems and access to carbon markets; and
blended financing solutions tailored to different household income levels.
To fast-track implementation, Chingeltei district has been selected as a regulatory sandbox, enabling streamlined permitting, grid connection, financing, and implementation models to be tested and scaled over the next two years.
The initiative marks a concrete shift toward a low-carbon, people-centered energy transition - cutting bureaucracy, improving air quality, and transforming households into clean-energy producers.
