About us

What We Do

We provide practical support to anyone looking to start, grow, or expand a business into international markets in Mongolia. Our mission is to make doing business easier by offering investors, exporters, and entrepreneurs access to essential information, professional guidance, and coordinated government services through a single point of contact.

Whether you are planning to invest in Mongolia, establish business partnerships, or introduce your products to international markets, we are here to provide the information, connections, and support you need to achieve your goals.

Strategy and Operations

We implement integrated policies and initiatives to attract investment, improve the business environment, and promote international trade, contributing to Mongolia’s sustainable economic growth and competitiveness.

We actively promote investment opportunities across Mongolia’s priority sectors, including infrastructure, mining, energy, agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism. Through targeted investment promotion activities, we connect international investors with high-potential projects and facilitate access to investment opportunities.

Our key activities include developing and maintaining an investment project database, promoting investment opportunities through digital platforms, and organizing and participating in international investment forums, business missions, exhibitions, and networking events to enhance Mongolia’s global investment profile.

We are committed to creating a transparent, predictable, and investor-friendly business environment. Our work focuses on strengthening the legal and regulatory framework, supporting evidence-based policy development, and fostering effective public-private dialogue and partnerships.

In line with Mongolia’s sustainable development objectives, we also promote green investment and support the transition toward a more sustainable and resilient economy.

To improve the quality and accessibility of public services, we are progressively digitalizing investment and trade-related government services through the implementation of an internationally aligned Electronic One-Stop Service System. This enables investors to access essential government services through a single, efficient platform, reducing administrative procedures and improving the overall investment experience.

Supporting investors throughout their investment journey is a core part of our mandate. We work to safeguard investors’ rights and legitimate interests by contributing to improvements in the legal and regulatory environment, reviewing policy and administrative issues a

ffecting investment, providing advisory and facilitation services, assisting in the resolution of investor inquiries, complaints, and disputes, and delivering timely information on policy developments, regulatory changes, and market opportunities.

Our trade development initiatives are designed to strengthen Mongolia’s export competitiveness and expand access to international markets. We support the development of import-substituting industries, enhance the export capacity of domestic enterprises, and promote greater competitiveness across key sectors.

We also work to improve Mongolia’s trade performance by encouraging the effective application of tariff and non-tariff measures and maximizing the benefits of bilateral, regional, and multilateral trade agreements to facilitate market access and sustainable trade growth.

How We Support Investors

We provide comprehensive support to investors, exporters, and businesses at every stage of their investment and business journey in Mongolia.

We provide reliable information on Mongolia’s legal and regulatory framework, helping investors and businesses understand the requirements for establishing and operating their businesses. For exporters, we offer guidance on international market opportunities, export requirements, and practical solutions to overcome challenges associated with entering and expanding into foreign markets.

To ensure that government services are delivered efficiently, transparently, and with minimal administrative burden, we operate the One-Stop Service Center at the Government Building XI. Through this center, foreign investors can access comprehensive information on Mongolia’s investment climate, legal framework, business regulations, and market opportunities from a single location.

In addition, we operate an online Investor Grievance and Complaint Management System to receive, monitor, and facilitate the resolution of investor concerns. Investors can also conveniently access a range of government services related to foreign-invested enterprises through the One-Stop Service Center, including services provided by the General Authority for State Registration, the Mongolian Tax Authority, the Immigration Agency of Mongolia, the General Department of Social Insurance, as well as other relevant ministries and government agencies.

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:

• 1996–2012: Foreign Investment and Foreign Trade Agency
• 2013–2016: Invest Mongolia Agency
• 2016–2021: National Development Agency

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.
