This document summarizes the opportunities and challenges for Mongolian coking coal in the Chinese market. It finds that while the market for washed hard coking coal remains strong in China, Mongolian coal exports and prices have declined in recent months due to inconsistent quality, irregular supply, and high transportation costs. It recommends that Mongolia focus on improving rail infrastructure to reduce handling costs, ensure consistent high-quality washed coal production, and establish a fair royalty regime in order to enhance the competitiveness of its coking coal industry long-term. Anglo American presents itself as a potential partner to help Mongolia achieve these goals.
