Parliament Ratified Interim Trade Agreement www.montsame.mn

At its plenary session on December 12, 2025, the State Great Khural (Parliament) approved the Interim Trade Agreement between Mongolia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and its member states, submitted by the Government. With the ratification of this agreement, conditions have been created for the mutual export and import of 367 types of goods on a duty-free basis.
In addition, Mongolia will be able to import from EAEU member states 367 categories of food products that are not produced domestically, as well as heavy machinery and equipment, chemical fertilizers, and nitrogen-based fertilizers.
The Government considers that the agreement will contribute to increasing non-mining exports, job creation, and overall economic activity. Under the EAEU interim trade agreement, customs clearance can be completed within four hours, and exporters are now able to self-certify certificates of origin for goods valued at up to EUR 5,000. This is expected to have a positive impact on Mongolian enterprises.
The agreement does not cover investment, trade in services, banking and finance, or payment and settlement issues. It is limited strictly to the agreed list of 367 goods. Nevertheless, it offers advantages such as enhanced cooperation between customs authorities, improved efficiency and promptness, resolution of obstacles encountered in foreign trade, and reductions in transaction costs.
The Interim Trade Agreement with Mongolia has been concluded for three years and can be extended for the same period. After the first three years of the agreement, the parties can begin negotiations on a full-fledged free trade zone.
The Member States of the Eurasian Economic Union are the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and the Russian Federation.
The Union is being created to comprehensively upgrade, raise the competitiveness of, and enhance cooperation between the national economies, and to promote stable development in order to raise the living standards of the nations.

Private Sector to Invest in the Education of Children in Remote Soums and Baghs www.unicef.org

 In partnership with the Ministry of Education and UNICEF Mongolia, the “One Bagh One School” initiative was officially launched today. The goal of this initiative is to deliver accessible, inclusive, and quality primary education services in remote rural baghs (the smallest administrative unit in Mongolia) through schools that are child friendly, climate resilient, environmentally sustainable, and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
UNICEF Mongolia is mobilizing resources in collaboration with private sector partners to implement this initiative, and today, the first investment agreements were officially signed.
Within their corporate social responsibility programs, Khan Bank and Monpolymet Group are jointly investing a total of 4.2 billion MNT in this effort. This marks not only a significant investment in the education sector but also the beginning of a new way of collaboration between government, private sector, academia, and development organizations.
With this investment, new primary schools will be established in five baghs of Tuv, Uvs, Khovd, and Khuvsgulprovinces, enabling over 370 children each year to attend school closer to home. Special focus will be given to providing a conducive learning environment for children of border protection officers and staff working and residing at locations such as the Borshoo border checkpoint in Uvs province and Uench soum of Khovd province.
“Every year, around 36,000 children live in dormitories for nine months, far from their families, to access education. On average, these children need to travel between their homes and schools six times a year using various means of transportation. It is essential to ensure that children from herder families in rural areas and children of border protection officers have access to quality primary education in a safe and comfortable environment near their homes. Effective partnerships and sustainable cooperation between the government and the private sector play a crucial role in successfully achieving this goal,” emphasized Minister of Education P. Naranbayar.
UNICEF Representative Evariste Kouassi-Komlan highlighted, “One Bagh One School initiative is more than just a project. It’s a promise to children that they will have the right to education, no matter where they live. Today’s agreement is an excellent example of how the government, private sector, academia, and international organizations can join forces for the wellbeing of children. Many other companies have also expressed interest in supporting this initiative, and together we will be able to deliver quality, accessible, and inclusive education to even more children.”
Khan Bank CEO R. Munkhtuya shared, “We are delighted that our team at Khan Bank is contributing to enabling children in remote areas of our vast country to access quality primary education in a safe and comfortable environment close to home. As a result of this project, by the end of this year, child friendly, climate resilient schools will be established in five remote locations, allowing more than 370 children aged 2-10 to start attending school near their homes. We are confident that this initiative will become a meaningful investment in supporting the education, dreams, and future of Mongolia’s children.”
Chairwoman of Monpolymet Group N. Munkhnasan added, “We have begun implementing projects in partnership with UNICEF to upgrade digital classrooms and organize capacity-building trainings for local teachers and students. Ensuring equal access to education, regardless of geographic location, lays the foundation for nurturing knowledgeable, skilled citizens and building the future of Mongolia.”
Currently, of the 1,575 baghs nationwide, only 44 have primary schools, which is an insufficient number. As a result, many children in rural areas must leave their families and live in dormitories at soum centers to pursue education — a situation that negatively affects students’ emotional well being, academic performance, and limits parental care and engagement. The One Bagh One School initiative aims to reduce these adverse effects by enabling children, especially those with disabilities, to access education in schools located near their homes, supported by their families and communities.
By 2027, UNICEF and its private sector partners aim to establish at least 60 bagh primary schools across the country.

Parliament Examines Oyu Tolgoi Agreements, Benefits in Multi-Day Evidence Hearing www.montsame.mn

A hearing to examine evidence was held from December 8 to 12 at the State Palace by the Temporary Investigative Committee of the State Great Khural, tasked with overseeing 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 was established by Resolution No. 62 of the State Great Khural (Parliament) of 2025. Member of Parliament Batnairamdal Otgonshar serves as Chair of the Temporary Investigative Committee, with MPs Badamsuren Myagmarsuren, Bat-Erdene Bat-Ulzii, Bayarbaatar Bayarmagnai, Bolormaa Enkhbat, Zulpkhar Sarkhad, Byambasuren Shinebayar, Ganzorig Purevjav, Jargalan Batbayar, Purevdavaa Davaakhuu, and Shijir Ulziikhuu serving as members.
Closing the hearing, MP Batnairamdal, Chair of the Temporary Investigative Committee, stated, “This evidence examination hearing is the sixth of its kind in the history of the Mongolian Parliament, and it recorded the highest average attendance rate, at 70 percent. The Oyu Tolgoi project remains critically important to Mongolia’s economy, not only for today’s citizens but also for future generations. Therefore, this is precisely the right time to discuss the consequences of the project and the solutions we should pursue going forward.”
He emphasized that the three-day hearing was not intended to assign blame to any individual or group. Rather, individuals who had not met face-to-face for 16 years since the contract was concluded, and who had long held differing and conflicting views, came together to discuss investments totaling USD 22 billion, an amount comparable to the size of Mongolia’s economy, within a legal and regulatory framework.
The ad hoc committee chair also noted that from 2030 onward, Oyu Tolgoi is expected to become the world’s third-largest copper producer. He stated, “For more than 20 years, since 2006, one of the world’s leading mining companies, the Rio Tinto Group, has been implementing this major project in Mongolia, and we appreciate that. I am confident that our partnership will continue and that we will move forward together for many decades to come. Sixteen years more than half of the 30-year investment agreement have already passed.
There is no denying that the time has come to evaluate the agreement, its implementation, related processes, and their consequences, and to make decisions accordingly. Mongolia’s 3.5 million citizens have come to understand this. When we discuss issues together, comprehensively and at their root, solutions and pathways forward emerge. The key is to speak openly and transparently before the people. One major mistake in the past was the persistent concealment of information, which created an extreme imbalance of information among stakeholders. All parties have suffered as a result. Going forward, we must correct this and build greater mutual trust.”
The chair expressed his hope that, as a result of the evidence examination hearing and the work of the Temporary Investigative Committee, a new era would begin for the Oyu Tolgoi project, founded on trust and mutual benefit. He stressed that throughout the three days of open, multi-perspective discussions on developments over the past 20-plus years, Mongolia’s national interests were consistently placed at the forefront.
On the first day of the hearing, held on December 8, discussions focused on determining the State’s ownership share based on the established reserves and valuation of the “Javkhlant” (MV-15225) and “Shivee Tolgoi” (MV-15226) mining license areas, as well as related documentation. On the second and third days, on December 10 and 12, evidence was examined regarding the interest rates on financing under the amended and restated shareholders’ agreement of Oyu Tolgoi LLC, measures undertaken to reduce those rates in line with international market benchmarks, and the associated impacts.
During the hearing, 14 television channels and media outlets broadcast the proceedings live nationwide and to Mongolians abroad.
MP Batnairamdal noted that the Temporary Investigative Committee had worked for more than five months since July 2, 2025. During this period, committee members, investigators, and experts reviewed evidence, conducted analyses, and presented findings to the public in an accessible manner, guided by the principle that “this is the property of the people of Mongolia, the Constitution must be upheld, and the rightful owners of the nation’s wealth should receive their fair share.” He emphasized that the discussions focused on the management and use of public assets, adding that the most important outcome of the hearing must be concrete solutions that are actually implemented.
Highlighting that construction of the Oyu Tolgoi underground mine is being completed this year, MP Batnairamdal underscored that the project is undergoing a major transition from 16 years of construction to becoming a stable producer and a major mining company. Accordingly, he stated that the originally agreed 53 percent share of benefits for Mongolia must be realized, warning that failure to do so could lead to serious risks and consequences.
The Temporary Investigative Committee reiterated that its objective is to ensure Mongolia’s national interests and to increase the benefits derived from the Oyu Tolgoi project to a fair and justified level. It emphasized that the current generation now bears the responsibility to learn from the successes and mistakes of the past 16 years and to preserve the country’s natural wealth for future generations. “Regardless of political affiliation, Mongolians must unite at this moment, jointly arrive at solutions, and move forward together,” the chair stated. In closing, he expressed gratitude to all witnesses, observers, and participants who took part in the three-day hearing; to media organizations that ensured openness, transparency, and the public’s right to know; to the staff of the Secretariat of the State Great Khural who organized the hearing; and to the investigators, experts, and members of the Temporary Investigative Committee.
Of the approximately 300 witnesses summoned to the hearing, notices were delivered to 266, and 207 witnesses participated, representing 70 percent of those called. In addition to committee members, investigators, and experts, the hearing was attended by 17 officials from five relevant government institutions, five employees from two state-owned enterprises, one observer, and 52 participants representing citizens and non-governmental organizations, according to the Parliament’s Press and Media Department.

Government to Submit Draft Resolution on Privatization and Public Offering of State Assets www.montsame.mn

At its session on December 15, 2025, the Cabinet discussed and decided to submit to the State Great Khural (Parliament) a draft parliamentary resolution titled On Approving the Main Guidelines for the Privatization and Restructuring of State Property and the Public Offering of Shares of State-Owned Legal Entities through the Stock Exchange for 2025–2028.
Under the draft guidelines, the Government proposes to offer 10 to 66 percent of state-owned shares in 18 state-owned companies and enterprises operating in the aviation, energy, finance, mining, insurance, and selected trade sectors through the stock exchange, transforming them into publicly listed companies. The proposal also includes the full privatization of eight state-owned companies, as well as the merger, consolidation, and restructuring of seven state-owned companies and enterprises.
In addition, plans are outlined to offer portions of shares in a further six state-owned companies to the public and to fully divest the state’s ownership in five additional companies at a later stage.
If implemented, these measures would reduce the number of 100 percent state-owned companies and enterprises, increase the number of publicly listed companies, and decrease the total number of state-owned entities by 19, or 18.8 percent, bringing the total to 82.
The draft further specifies that additional ordinary shares of the following state-owned legal entities will be issued and offered to the public:
Telecom Mongolia JSC
Mongolian Commodity Exchange LLC
Mongolian National Reinsurance JSC
Mongolian Stock Exchange JSC
Agricultural Corporation LLC
Shivee-Ovoo JSC
Baganuur JSC

Exploring the 'Zuuvch-Ovoo' Uranium Project and Its Future Outlook www.montsame.mn

 We visited the “Badrakh Energy” LLC uranium project in Ulaanbadrakh soum, Dornogobi aimag, to observe its operations firsthand.
On one hand, the purpose was to see on the ground the preparations for one of the major projects licensed to be implemented in Mongolia at this time. On the other hand, it was to find answers to the information that constantly spreads on social media, claiming that people and livestock in Ulaanbadrakh soum, Dornogobi aimag (province), are being poisoned by uranium and that danger to humans and ecology is imminent. As the saying goes, "Better to see once than hear a thousand times," so we headed to the "Zuuvch-Ovoo" uranium project. Interestingly, although Ulaanbadrakh soum ranks second in the province in size and has a territory larger than that of over 30 countries in the world, this uranium project is the first mining project for the soum.
Preparations for the Uranium Project are Underway
The French "Orano" group owns 66 percent of the company, and the Government of Mongolia owns 34 percent. The Investment Agreement between the Government of Mongolia and "Orano Mining SAS," the investor in the joint Mongolian-French "Badrakh Energy" company, was signed on January 17, 2025. This investment agreement to implement the uranium project in the territory of Dornogobi aimag is Mongolia's second investment agreement implemented with a "third neighbor" country since the "Oyu Tolgoi" project. It is also the first major Mongolia-European Union project. This is because the uranium produced by the joint project is calculated not only to supply 80 percent of France's energy but also to provide energy to countries such as England, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium for the next 60 years. In this context, analysts believe the project will have a positive impact on the investment climate of Mongolia. Furthermore, converting the 34 percent common shares into 10 percent preferred shares and substituting the remaining 24 percent with a special royalty for mineral resource exploitation (AMNAT) is significant as it eliminates the risk of waiting for dividends or incurring additional debt, allowing Mongolians to receive benefits immediately from the start of the project. The company, which began operations in 1997, discovered the Dulaan-Uul uranium deposit with 7,000 tonnes of reserves in 2006 and the Zuuvch-Ovoo uranium deposit with 93,000 tonnes (total 100,345 tonnes) of reserves in 2010.
Currently, Mongolia's registered proven uranium reserves stand at around 200,000 tonnes. These reserves, it accounts for 3 percent of global uranium reserves, ranking 10th in the world in terms of reserve size.
The proven reserves of the "Badrakh Energy" company's uranium projects account for over 50 percent of Mongolia's total reserves. According to the Investment Agreement, the project's "Shareholders' Agreement" and "Deposit Mining Agreement" must be amended and approved by 2025. Subsequently, plant construction work is planned to begin in 2026, with the Zuuvch-Ovoo mine starting main extraction and producing its first product by October 2028. Once the plant operates at full capacity, it will produce 2,500 tonnes of yellowcake uranium per year (our country will produce only yellowcake, not the final product), and based on current proven reserves, it is calculated to operate for an initial period of 33 years. Although the Investment Agreement is concluded for 20 years, if new uranium reserves are discovered, the agreement implies the term will be extended until the plant's operational potential is exhausted. The company announced that, along with the plant construction, work will begin on a 110 km road and a 110 kV overhead power transmission line in the Zuunbayan-Ulaanbadrakh direction. These developments are planned to be commissioned within the first half of 2027. The project's plant is planned to be built following the standards of mines such as KATCO in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Overall, the uranium extraction and processing facilities, sulfuric acid plant, and associated technologies of Badrakh Energy LLC’s project in Ulaanbadrakh will be developed in accordance with the standards applied at uranium mines in Kazakhstan.
The initial investment of the project is planned at USD 500 million, with a total investment amount of  USD 1.7 billion, which is considered a high amount of foreign direct investment for Mongolia
The total benefit our country will receive from the project, calculated to operate for a total of 33 years, is USD 5.2 billion. During the project implementation, "Badrakh Energy" company will provide economic and social benefits to Mongolians and create new jobs; additionally, within the scope of the project, it will produce 68.9 thousand tonnes of uranium raw material – the main raw material for nuclear energy, which is green energy – and prevent the emission of 4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide during the mine's operation. Preparations are underway for the implementation of such a project. "Badrakh Energy" company officials emphasized that all work is proceeding normally according to the schedule reflected in the Investment Agreement.
Many new tasks related to uranium production, such as amending the "Shareholders' Agreement" and "Deposit Mining Agreement," conducting a Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment, conducting water studies, performing the Project's Social and Economic Impact Assessment, and establishing the legal framework for transporting and exporting radioactive materials, need to be completed before 2028.
Additionally, the "Badrakh Energy" uranium project site is located entirely within the territory of Ulaanbadrakh soum, while Zuunbayan is a transit point and a reserve area where an airport can be built if necessary.
