Overview
- Prime Minister G. Zandanshatar presented the five‑year plan prioritizing education and health with measurable goals, including sustaining GDP growth above 6%, lifting regional development indicators by 20% and raising the human development index toward about 0.813.
- Transport Minister B. Delgersaikhan said four border checkpoints — Sükhee–Shiveekhüren, Khangi–Mandal and Bichigt–Züünkhatawch among them — will be linked by roughly 2,500 km of new railway during 2026–2030.
- The transport policy also introduces a 260 km/h high‑speed rail concept to connect major cities and reduce centralization, with feasibility and funding still to be determined.
- Officials reported 82 km completed on the Bagakhangai–Höshig branch line and ongoing coordination with Russia, a project aimed in part at moving hazardous cargo out of the capital.
- The plan folds in digital governance reforms and fiscal measures, including AI‑assisted tender and permit reviews across ministries and a draft 2026 budget that earmarks about 443.6 billion MNT for food, agriculture and light industry; anti‑corruption officials separately reported a 721.1 million MNT recovery.
