Sonsy launches Mongolia’s first world-class music streaming platform, powered by Tuned Global. Created to spotlight Mongolian artists and fans, Sonsy blends deep cultural roots with cutting-edge streaming technology, offering CD-quality sound, offline listening, and flexible subscription tiers.
More than just music, it opens fresh discovery and revenue channels for local creators, while ensuring listeners enjoy a premium, reliable service. Discover how Tuned Global and Mongol Content are shaping the future of Mongolia’s digital music scene and setting new standards for locally driven streaming innovation.
Mongolia is a small but mighty market, punching above its weight when it comes to music and fandom. Sonsy, the latest evolution in digital music in the country, is moving Mongolian digital culture forward. The goal: create a music service to rival global giants that’s custom-built to support Mongolian artists and music lovers. To do this, they turned to Tuned Global for best-in-class, turn-key music services.
A PLATFORM BUILT FOR MONGOLIAN ARTISTS AND FANS
Unlike international platforms and services, Sonsy is designed to strengthen the Mongolian music scene, supporting both emerging and established artists. Launched by Mongolmusic (the music distribution arm of Mongol Content LLC), Sonsy creates a new discovery channel for local fans and a new revenue channel for local artists. Along with royalties calculated per listen, Sonsy offers artists meaningful collaborations and promotional support to help them reach wider audiences in Mongolia and around the world. Sonsy also offers international-grade listening experiences, including CD-quality sound, gold-standard security and reliability, unlimited listening for subscribers, a freemium model with several subscription tiers (Individual, Duo and Family), and offline mode.
THE RISE OF SONSY AND MONGOLIA'S MUSIC CULTURE
To build Sonsy, Mongol Content LLC - Mongolia’s first content aggregator and a leading force in the country’s digital media and entertainment industry— used Tuned Global’s white-label streaming apps, a first for the Mongolian market. The partnership provided a highly efficient way to translate Mongol Content’s decades of regional expertise in media, music, and IP rights into a music service tailored to local tastes, needs, and listening habits
Unenbat Baatar, CEO of Mongolcontent, says, “Launching Sonsy marks a major milestone for Mongolia’s digital music industry. Backed by our 20 years of experience in the Mongolian market and long-standing support for local artists, Sonsy combines cultural heritage with cutting-edge technology. By partnering with Tuned Global, we gain from international expertise, and reliable streaming solutions enabling us to deliver a world-class experience while creating new opportunities for Mongolian talent to reach wider audiences”.
"We’re excited to partner with Sonsy to support the growth of Mongolia’s music industry,” explains Con Raso, Tuned Global’s Managing Director. “By combining our global streaming expertise with Sonsy’s local vision, we are delivering a world-class music experience that connects audiences with the artists they love. This partnership demonstrates how data and AI can enrich individuals' music journeys and unlock new opportunities for local creators."

Depression identified as leading cause of work inability www.ubpost.mn

World Mental Health Day will be observed on October 10. In anticipation of the day, the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) and the “White Pen” Association of Health Care Journalists in Mongolia organized an informational session for journalists on mental health issues. In recent years, global attention has increasingly focused not only on physical health but also on mental and social well-being.
Worldwide, one in eight adults lives with a mental disorder. In 2005, mental and behavioral disorders accounted for 10 percent of all illnesses, rising to 15 percent by 2020. In Mongolia, according to the most recent survey conducted in 2013, one in four people suffers from a mental disorder.
Dr. N.Altanzul, Deputy Head of the Mental Health and Social Services Department at NCMH, highlighted that Mongolia lacks comprehensive research on the causes and circumstances of suicide. “Our suicide registration and reporting system is underdeveloped, and data from law enforcement and health agencies often conflict. Therefore, it is crucial to implement integrated measures starting with accurate reporting of suicides related to mental health issues,” she said.
Dr. N.Altanzul also noted that five of the 10 diseases most responsible for loss of work capacity are mental disorders, with depression remaining the leading cause of illness and disability across all age groups.
In addition, alcohol consumption has been identified as a factor in over 200 cases of orphanhood, mental illness, and injury. Globally, alcohol accounts for 5.3 percent of all deaths, with 13.5 percent of fatalities among 20 to 39-year-olds linked to alcohol and other intoxicants. Tobacco also remains a critical public health concern, with one person dying every four seconds worldwide due to smoking-related causes. Suicide ranks fourth among causes of death for 15 to 29-year-olds, with depression, anxiety, and behavioral disorders contributing significantly.
Mental health specialists emphasize that suicidal thoughts and impulses are intensely powerful feelings, and sharing them with someone can help “relieve” the burden. In Mongolia, individuals can also seek psychological support through the NCMH helpline at 1800–2000.

Monetary Policy Rate Maintained www.montsame.mn

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Mongolia, at its meeting convened on September 15-16, resolved to maintain the policy rate at 12 percent. The decision was adopted in consideration of the prevailing economic, banking, and financial market conditions, as well as external and domestic developments and associated risks.
The resolution is aligned to stabilise inflation at the target level in the medium term and reinforce the resilience of the economy and the financial system. The Committee emphasised that subsequent monetary policy measures will be determined and implemented in accordance with changes in external and internal economic conditions, the trajectory of inflation, and the overall economic outlook.
As of August 2025, annual inflation stood at 8.8 percent nationwide and 9.8 percent in Ulaanbaatar. While inflation has gradually moderated since February due to the phased tightening of monetary and financial policy, August witnessed relative increases in the prices of meat, vegetables, and flour, thereby contributing to a renewed rise in food inflation.
Inflation is projected to ease gradually and fall within the target range in 2026. Nevertheless, Governor of the Bank of Mongolia B. Lkhagvasuren cautioned that government projects and their financing, export revenues, exchange rate fluctuations, supply constraints, and weather-related changes in food prices may continue to exert upward pressure on inflation.
In the first half of 2025, the economy expanded by 5.6 percent, with the agricultural sector serving as the principal driver of growth. In the latter half of the year, economic expansion is expected to be supported by increased production of copper concentrate and the commencement of new development projects.

Buuruljuut Power Plant’s Second Unit Set for December 2025 Commissioning www.montsame.mn

As Ulaanbaatar continues to account for over 60 percent of the country’s total energy consumption, efforts to support its energy infrastructure have made significant progress. In response to a projected 200 Megawatt (MW) capacity deficit for the winter of 2024-2025, the city successfully addressed the shortfall by commissioning the Buuruljuut power plant.
The 150 MW Buuruljuut facility, located in Bayanjargalan soum of Tuv aimag – approximately 120 kilometers southeast of Ulaanbaatar – was officially commissioned in October 2024 and connected to the central regional power grid in December 2024. The plant is part of a larger project to build a 600 MW power station in four units, based on the Buuruljuut brown coal deposit in the same region.
Unit I of the 150 MW plant has maintained an average daily load of 140 MW and delivered over 600 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity to the grid as of September 2025.
This development was made possible through a domestic market transaction, in which the capital city traded MNT 500 billion, allocating MNT 300 billion specifically for the Buuruljuut project. The investment marked a historic first for Ulaanbaatar in terms of domestic energy financing.
Officials have confirmed that the construction of Unit II, another 150 MW installation at the Buuruljuut site, is proceeding on schedule and is expected to be completed by December 5, 2025.

Remarks of Ambassador Richard L. Buangan at the UNMISS Sendoff Ceremony for Mongolian Peacekeepers to South Sudan www.mn.usembassy.gov

Remarks of Ambassador Richard L. Buangan at the UNMISS Sendoff Ceremony for Mongolian Peacekeepers to South Sudan
September 17, 2025 As delivered
Brigadier General Usukhbayar, distinguished guests,
Good afternoon,
I am honored to be here today with you all, Officers, Soldiers and Family Members, of the 15th Mongolian Battalion as you begin your deployment in support of UN peacekeeping operations in South Sudan.
Over the last two decades, Mongolia has established itself as a leader in supporting global peacekeeping operations. In Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout Africa, Mongolia’s peacekeepers have upheld international law, protected human rights, and maintained global stability,
Throughout history, Mongolia’s men and women in uniform have never wavered in the face of danger. The mission before you will require the same level of courage, tenacity, skill, leadership, and compassion that those who have served before you have demonstrated in the past.
This deployment will be challenging, but we know that you have trained hard and are prepared for this mission. You should be proud that Mongolian PKO troops are currently making a difference for the people in South Sudan. Just earlier this year, displaced civilians received refuge at a Mongolian Battalion base, reinforcing the important role of Mongolian peacekeepers and underscoring the trust they earned from the civilian population.
Escalating hostilities have stalled the reconciliation process. As peacekeepers, you have been charged with a critical role in stopping the violence to allow the implementation of a peace deal for the people of South Sudan.
On behalf of the United States, I thank each of you and your families for your sacrifice and willingness to defend those who cannot defend themselves, and to move one step closer to global peace.
May God be with you in your journey. We pray for your safety and your success in bringing peace to this troubled region of the world. We are very, very much proud of you. Thank you all for your service.

DeMarcus Cousins to Play Again in the Mongolian League www.montsame.mn

DeMarcus Cousins, a member of the NBA All-Rookie First Team, four-time NBA All-star (2015-2018), FIBA World Cup, and the Rio 2016 Olympics Champion, announced on social media that he will once again play in Mongolia.
He will rejoin the “Selenge Bodons” and compete for the championship title. Last season, the team fell short of winning the league, and Cousins had previously expressed his intention to return, a promise that has now been fulfilled.
Upon departing, Cousins remarked: “To the loyal basketball fans of Mongolia, and especially to the supporters of the ‘Selenge Bodons.’ I would like to express my deepest gratitude. Although my time in Mongolia was brief, it left me with unforgettable memories. I came here to play the sport I love, but I also discovered a land filled with passionate people, a unique culture, and breathtaking landscapes. I have truly fallen in love with Mongolia, its people, its culture, and its spirit. Your love and support gave me great strength, and I will never forget the warmth with which you welcomed me as one of your own.
Representing the Bodons has been an honor for me. Every time I was on the court, I felt the energy, pride, encouragement, and love from the fans. These emotions will stay with me forever. I am also deeply thankful to my coach and teammates. I will not say goodbye, but rather ‘see you again.’ Mongolia will always be in my heart, and I will continue to speak proudly about this country and the league you have built here.
DeMarcus Cousins will play in the playoffs of the Mongolian Basketball Association National Premier League as a member of the “Selenge Bodons.”

Inner Mongolia halts 15 coal mines over capacity breaches www.mining-technology.com

Inner Mongolia, a major coal-producing region in China, has directed 15 coal mines to cease operations after exceeding their approved output limits, reported Reuters. 
The decision follows an inspection initiated by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Energy Bureau aimed at addressing overcapacity issues in the sector. 
The move aligns with Beijing’s efforts to manage production capacity and limit excess production in the industry. 
A document from the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau, confirmed by Reuters, revealed that 15 mines in Ordos had exceeded their authorised capacity by more than 10% in the first half of 2025 (H1 2025). 
The affected mines are instructed to halt production and can only resume after passing safety inspections conducted by regional regulators. 
However, the document did not specify when these inspections would occur, said the Reuters report. 
In July, China began a series of inspections in key coal-producing areas, instructing local authorities to report on any mines surpassing their production limits for 2024 and H1 2025. 
A document stated to be from China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) called for inspections in eight provinces to verify if coal mines were exceeding their licensed production capacities. 
The NEA is a part of the National Development and Reform Commission, which finalised regulations to establish a coal production reserve system by 2027. 
The move led to a rise in market speculation and a surge in coking coal prices. 
The most active coal contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange increased nearly 8% to 1,048.5 yuan ($146.19) per tonne, its highest level since March.

Oldest Known Pachycephalosaur Fossil Discovered in Mongolia www.yahoo.com

Anyone who has ever flipped open a dinosaur book is likely familiar with pachycephalosaurs. These dome-headed dinos are often depicted ramming the tops of their bowling-ball-like skulls into predators or rivals.
Yet despite their popularity, pachycephalosaurs continue to puzzle paleontologists in part because fossils of these bipedal herbivores are rare, says Lindsay Zanno, a paleontologist at North Carolina State University. “The exception is their cranial domes, which were practically indestructible and are usually all we find of these critters,” she says. Almost all of these skull caps date back to the Late Cretaceous, when pachycephalosaurs were already established across the Northern Hemisphere, obscuring the group’s early evolution.
A pachycephalosaur skeleton that was recently discovered in Mongolia is poised to finally fill in the missing chapter of this dinosaur clade’s early history. The remarkably complete fossil, which Zanno and her colleagues described on Wednesday in the journal Nature, represents a new species that is the oldest known dome-headed dinosaurs.
The fossil was unearthed in 2019 in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert, a famed hotbed for dinosaur fossils. While surveying a hillside, Mongolian paleontologist Tsogtbaatar Chinzorig of North Carolina State University and a co-author of the new paper, discovered the top of a dinosaur’s noggin sticking out of a cliff.
The fossil was embedded inside rocks that date to between 115 million and 108 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous period, when the area was covered by a lush river valley. The team deposited the remarkable find at the Mongolian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Paleontology, where Tsogtbaatar is also affiliated.
As the researchers chipped away at the surrounding rock, they quickly realized that the new specimen represented the most complete pachycephalosaur fossil ever discovered. In addition to the rounded skull, the skeleton contains the first record of a pachycephalosaur hand and a complete tail covered with petrified tendons. It even preserves gastroliths—gizzard stones that the animal swallowed to help grind plant material in its digestive tract.
The scientists named the new species Zavacephale rinpoche. The species name is the Tibetan word for “precious one” and refers to the way the skull resembled a rounded, polished gemstone when Tsogtbaatar discovered it.
Zavacephale was a pint-sized pachycephalosaur that weighed roughly as much as a miniature poodle. Despite its diminutive size, the animal possessed a fully developed dome and had likely reached sexual maturity.
Researchers have debated for decades how these dinosaurs used their signature dome. Some have argued that the rounded melons played a role in sexual selection or that they helped species recognize one another. But the most popular interpretation is that the animals used the structure to headbutt one another, as modern bighorn sheep do, which is supported by fossilized skull caps that preserve lesions and other signs of trauma.
The team concluded that Zavacephale represents the oldest known pachycephalosaur and likely originated early on in the evolution of this bizarre group of dinosaurs. “It tells us that the dome head evolved early in pachycephalosaur evolution and arose long before Zavacephale’s bigger, cousins started littering the latest Cretaceous fossil record with their skull caps,” says Stephen Brusatte, a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh, who was not involved in the new study.
Zavacephale’s cranium had a few noteworthy quirks, however. It was mostly composed of only one skull bone instead of the two bones seen in later species and largely lacked the knobby horns that other pachycephalosaurs had as ornamentation. Brusatte thinks that future finds of early pachycephalosaurs may further reveal how the group’s signature headgear evolved over time.
Zanno agrees. “Zavacephale was just an opening act,” she says, “and now we get to see more of the show.”
