2. Executive Summary
Attention to Mongolia’s “growth story” and its investment potentials has never been higher. Amid the
ongoing financial turmoil and unprecedented volatility that put all market participants in stalemate, above-
average market returns became a distant past, and asset managers, institutional investors, and
investment bankers, alike, begin to question – “where could be the next ‘hot’ investment destination?”
Whereas financial markets around the world patiently await some miracle economic rebounds, market
sentiment declines, and investor confidence continues to hit a new low. Mongolia, on the other hand,
represents a different investment story.
According to the World Bank’s Quarterly Economic Update, Mongolia’s GDP impressively grew at 17.3%
in Q2, and 20.8% in Q3 on a year-on-year basis. The year-end GDP growth is likely to reach 15%, if not
more, up from modest 6.4% in 2010. Given this growth momentum, IMF estimated that by 2012,

more, up from modest 6.4% in 2010. Given this growth momentum, IMF estimated that by 2012,
Mongolia’s GDP will top US$11.2 bn, and per capital GDP will reach US$3,931
Driven primarily by mining boom and tremendous infrastructure spending in the recent years, its currently
US$6 billion economy is still relatively small in size and scope, but is expected to be the fastest-growing
economy in the world in the next 5 years.
Elsewhere, growth and investment opportunity is obscure, whereas in Mongolia, the opportunity is
unquestionably everywhere. Although there are prevalent risks (e.g. liquidity, exchange rate, market and
political risks) associated with this overheating economy, the rising domestic demand, upward trend in
consumption and favorable economic outlook justify every investment decision to be made in this
resources-rich country.

7. Inflation and currency outlooks
Annualized inflation is 10.8% with upside risk
Generalized wage and price pressures from a booming
economy, expansion in fiscal expenditures, and large
government cash handout contribute to rising inflation.
Given the overheating economy (20%+ GDP growth),
rising policy rate measure (currently at 12.5%) is
implemented to curb price increases.
Yet, inflation is expected to reach 13% by 2011 year-
end. Double-digit inflation is likely to prevail at least until
2013.

US$
MNT – 13% appreciation against US$ in 2010, the world’s second best performing currency
Capital inflows and exports drive MNT
Rising domestic consumption and demand for raw
materials from industrialized countries contribute to MNT
appreciation
In 2010, coal exports increased 2.3 times to 16.6
mm tons, and iron exports increased 2.2 times to
3.5 mm tons.
Further mild appreciation or FX stability is expected due
to large capital inflows for major mining projects.
With continued high real GDP growth, the real exchange
rate will have to adjust, either through nominal
appreciation or through inflation.

8. Understand Mongolia’s political risk
Lucrative opportunities can be undermined by political uncertainty
Updates on
Mongolia’s politics
Political
uncertainty is not
uncommon in
emerging
Since late September 2011, political pressure and hostile political climate became imminent
in the Mongolian government due to opposing views regarding foreign participation in OT IA.
A “highly organized” attack by anti-coalition government, in view of the upcoming election
context, aimed to destabilize the long-standing political status quo and discredit the Coalition
government. The anti-coalition MPs orchestrated nationalistic sentiment on the highly sensitive
issue of OT project to the public, in hope for gaining more votes in the election.
Given this vivid dynamics of Mongolian politics, minor revisions on terms and conditions of
OT and TT IAs can be expected along the way. The coalition government is, however, facing a
challenging task and dilemma in this political game.
Anti-OT IA, anti Coalition government MPs, in mid October, submitted to the Secretary of
Administrative Office a resignation petition to the PM, alleging the government’s failure to
implement the parliament resolution regarding OT IA.
2011
7P R E S E N T A T I O N M A T E R I A L
emerging
marketplace
implement the parliament resolution regarding OT IA.
Regardless of anti coalition political force that elaborated a high-profile attack on the coalition
government, the authority suggested that by laws, it is impossible to have only the PM resign.
Thus, this political move is not likely to take any substantial effect on the government front.
Implication for
investors
Ultimately, the government needs to devise a solution that satisfies all parties, while concurrently
pursuing multi-facet objectives – restoring investor confidence, wining the public opinions
in the next election, and ensuring the continuity of rigorous economic growth.
Political shock undeniably casted a shadow and negative sentiment on the Mongolia market,
but the real economic engine is not much hindered. The rising political risk premium is not
meant to discourage foreign investment; however, investors should be more careful
about the investment timing. Political uncertainty involving OT, TT controversies is surely soon
to be stabilized
The bottom line
The take-away lesson is, like in many other marketplaces, political risk is not avoidable, but
certainly manageable. The best investment timing is early 2012, when the political risk is
fully factored in and discounted. Choose the right timing, choose the right portfolio,
Mongolian investment definitely yields rewarding return.
