Mongolia’s Sales Managers’ Index (SMI) is moving upward to a positive trend in May, according to the World Economics. This was due to the rapid recovery in the Business Confidence Index last month. However, the index remains below 50 points. Other key indicators show a slight improvement in the Sales Growth Index, while the Jobs Index shows weak demand. Mongolia’s economy has been hit hard by the pandemic, which was triggered by a temporary stagnation in China’s economy. As China opens up its economy, and many factories become more able to produce at nearly full capacity, the economy of Mongolia is following suit and responding positively. There is some way to go before the trend lines indicate renewed growth, but all indexes suggest the economy is moving in a positive direction, highlighted the World Economics. Mongolia is ranked 81 among 190 economies in the ease of doing business, according to the latest World Bank annual ratings. The rank of Mongolia deteriorated to 81 in 2019 from 74 in 2018.
