President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa met with representatives of the urban development, construction, housing, and public utilities sectors. The President congratulated generations of employees and professionals in the construction sector on the historic 100th anniversary of the establishment and development of Mongolia's construction industry, noting the sector's significant contribution to economic growth, social development, and the improvement of living standards.

During the meeting, President Khurelsukh briefed participants on the work carried out since assuming office, the implementation of national movements, campaigns and programs, Mongolia’s foreign relations, and the country’s current socio-economic situation.

According to official figures, construction and major renovation works reached MNT 11.7 trillion by the end of 2025, accounting for approximately 3.5% of Mongolia’s GDP.

Minister of Urban Development, Construction, and Housing Bat-Amgalan Enkhtaivan said the ministry aims to introduce legal reforms, optimize the sector's institutional framework, introduce advanced technologies, strengthen links between research and industry, increase investment, and improve construction standards and regulations.

Draft revised laws on Construction, Urban Development, and Housing, along with a draft law on a specialized housing bank, are being prepared for submission to Parliament.

More than 100,000 jobs had been created in the construction sector as of 2025. However, challenges including overloaded infrastructure and public services, air, water, and soil pollution, traffic congestion, and limited access to public services continue to undermine citizens' living conditions and their right to live in a healthy and safe environment.

To address population concentration and create new settlement centers, President Khurelsukh issued a decree to establish the new city of Kharkhorum in the Orkhon Valley, a project that is being implemented in phases.

Moreover, during his tenure as Prime Minister, several major development projects were launched and commissioned, including the 1,008-unit Nogoon Nuur housing project, the Solongo 1 and Solongo 2 residential developments comprising 5,002 apartments, as well as a water purification plant, a wastewater recycling plant, and a wastewater treatment facility.
