How we support investors

We provide comprehensive support to investors, exporters, and businesses throughout their investment and business journey in Mongolia. Our services include reliable guidance on the legal and regulatory framework, investment procedures, business operations, and export opportunities. Through the One-Stop Service Center at Government Building XI, investors can access key government services and information from a single location. We also operate an online Investor Grievance and Complaint Management System to facilitate the timely resolution of investor concerns and improve the overall investment experience.

Why work with us?

Mongolia offers significant opportunities for investment and trade, driven by its abundant natural resources, expanding market and strategic geographic location. However, entering a new market—whether to establish a business, invest, or export—often involves uncertainties, including limited access to reliable information and complex regulatory requirements.

We are committed to reducing these barriers by providing investors and businesses with a transparent, efficient and reliable business environment. Our goal is to make market entry and investment processes clearer, faster and more predictable, enabling businesses to seize opportunities in Mongolia with confidence.

Brief history

The institutional framework for promoting foreign investment in Mongolia began in 1990 with the establishment of the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Since then, the organization has undergone several structural and institutional reforms in response to changing policy priorities and evolving economic needs.

Specifically, it operated under the following names:

In 2023, pursuant to Government Resolution No. 37, the Investment and Trade Agency was established. The Agency currently operates under the portfolio of the Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia, serving as the government’s principal institution responsible for promoting investment and trade.
