Summary: | Mongolia's prospects in the medium
term look excellent from a growth perspective as well as a
fiscal management perspective. Staying the course in the
medium term means implementing the landmark Fiscal Stability
Law (FSL) passed last year, and adopting a supportive
integrated budget law this spring session of parliament. The
economy grew 6.1 percent year-on-year (yoy) in 2010,
following a contraction of 1.3 percent in 2009. The last
quarter of 2010 ended with a broad-based recovery, supported
by transportation, construction and wholesale and retail
trade. The latest survey conducted in informal labor markets
in March 2011 revealed no changes in the total number of
casual workers compared to December. Mongolia has promising
growth prospects. It has the opportunity now to exercise
prudent fiscal and macroeconomic policies so it can steer
clear of the mistakes made by other resource rich economies
and achieve its potential. |
