IMF Says Mongolia's Economy Held Up in 2025 Despite a Coal Price Slump, But Warns on Inflation and Fiscal Slippage

  • The IMF's Executive Board concluded its 2026 Article IV consultation with Mongolia on August 6, finding the economy held up better than expected in 2025 despite a sharp drop in coal prices, with GDP growing 7.8% year-over-year through April 2026.
  • Inflation has re-accelerated since March 2026 on surging meat and energy prices, reaching 12.0% year-over-year in June and expected to stay near 10% by year-end.
  • The IMF urged Mongolia's government to submit a supplementary budget and reconsider a recently approved tax package, warning that fiscal slippage and rising debt are the biggest risks to the outlook.
