MONGOLIA: POLITICAL UPHEAVAL CLOUDS DEVELOPMENT OUTLOOK AMID ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN

   Tue, 10 June 2025

The resignation of the prime minister following anti-corruption protests has upended Mongolia’s political landscape, weakening the ruling party’s cohesion while offering new momentum to opposition forces. This power shift threatens the continuity of major infrastructure projects central to the government’s development agenda, raising concerns over implementation delays, weakened investor confidence, and growing reliance on Chinese financing. At the same time, the economy is showing signs of strain, with slowing growth and widening fiscal pressures highlighting the risks associated with an undiversified, resource-dependent economic model. These dynamics signal a period of political uncertainty and economic vulnerability for Mongolia.
