As part of the Government’s policy to improve the investment environment and protect the lawful interests of domestic and foreign investors, the Investor Protection Center was established under the Ministry of Economy and Development and officially opened on January 12, 2026.
At the opening ceremony, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Development Enkhbayar Jadamba stated, “Mongolia is consistently working to create a more transparent, stable, and predictable business environment for investors. In line with the Prime Minister’s directives, the center will establish a mechanism to convey investors’ voices directly to the Government and safeguard their legitimate interests. Economic expansion, export growth, industrial development, and job creation are inseparable from investment. Private sector leadership plays a key role in this process. However, the current investment climate remains unfavorable, making comprehensive policy reforms urgently needed to attract and increase investment.”
The Government has reviewed Mongolia’s investment policies and cooperation frameworks implemented over the past 30 years and has launched reforms of the legal environment. In this context, draft amendments to the Law on Investment and a draft Law on Trade are planned for discussion during the spring session of the State Great Khural. In addition, reforms are underway to transform state inspections into a clearer, advisory, preventive, and risk-based system. The draft Law on Permits has also entered parliamentary deliberation. These reforms aim to promote economic freedom and make Mongolia more business- and investment-friendly.
The newly established center will provide investors with legal and regulatory information through a one-stop service, ensure transparency, and receive and assist in resolving complaints and grievances before they escalate to court proceedings. Given that more than 200 laws regulate business relations in Mongolia—including around 40 provisions that restrict foreign investment—the center will relay investors’ real concerns to the government and provide practical support in resolving them. The center will also facilitate experience and information sharing, strengthen public–private partnerships, protect investors’ lawful rights and property inviolability, and collaborate with the private sector and professional associations to ensure that state involvement in business remains at an appropriate level.
The establishment of the Investor Protection Center is expected to provide tangible support in creating a stable, transparent, and favorable investment environment in Mongolia, while elevating public–private cooperation to a new stage.
