Overview
- Parliament’s temporary oversight committee debated a draft resolution to act on the Oyu Tolgoi special audit and open hearings, with proposals ranging from legal reviews of adjacent licences to potential water‑use limits, and agreed to present its conclusions to the full session.
- The prime minister’s task force reported 2,775 active mining licences, about 500 companies with political or foreign links, and AMNAT arrears of 1.4 trillion MNT, and it flagged an export loophole that lets firms ship despite nonpayment.
- Lawmakers reviewed a government list to prepare 33 state-owned companies for stock-market offerings in 2026–2028, including Erdenes Tavantolgoi, Erdenet, MIAT, State Bank and major energy utilities.
- Erdenet Factory posted preliminary 2025 records with 4.6 trillion MNT in sales and 693.1 billion MNT net profit, expanded ore output, and fully deployed an AI-based tender evaluation system, as its CEO urged a more flexible, price-linked AMNAT.
- Ulaanbaatar’s mayoral office sent a plan to procure 2,000 electric or plug‑in hybrid taxis over five years, outlining 77 billion MNT in initial financing through a mix of business loans and a city transport fund.
