Sector Overview

Mongolia's Infrastructure Landscape

Infrastructure development is a top national priority for Mongolia, driven by the need to move mineral exports efficiently, reduce logistics costs, and modernise rapidly growing urban centres — particularly Ulaanbaatar, which hosts over 45% of the national population.

Key investment corridors include the North–South railway connecting Russian and Chinese borders (the "Iron Silk Road"), road upgrades across the mining provinces of Ömnögovi, Dundgovi, and Khentii, Ulaanbaatar urban rail and housing projects, and development of the New Khushig Valley International Airport area as a logistics hub.

Mongolia's Construction Law, Public-Private Partnership Law, and the Infrastructure Investment Fund provide multiple entry channels for foreign contractors and investors. EPC, design-build, and BOT models are all supported, with government-backed guarantees available for priority national projects.

Key Policies & Frameworks

Public-Private Partnership Law (2021)

Provides a clear PPP framework covering project identification, competitive tendering, risk sharing, and dispute resolution for infrastructure projects with a value exceeding MNT 50B.

New Recovery Policy — Infrastructure Priority List

"New Recovery" national programme (2021–2025) designates 13 strategic infrastructure projects as national priority, providing budget guarantees and expedited permitting.

Ulaanbaatar Smart City Master Plan 2040

Comprehensive urban redevelopment plan covering transit systems, affordable housing, digital infrastructure, and green building standards for the capital city.

Transport Sector Master Plan 2050

Long-term plan for rail, road, and air connectivity, including the Trans-Mongolian high-speed rail link and regional airport upgrades in 5 aimag centres.

Local Content Requirements (Construction)

PPP and government contracts require a minimum 40% local material sourcing and 50% Mongolian skilled labour, with incentives for exceeding these thresholds.
