About Mongolia:
Mongolia is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, led by the extraction of vast deposits of coal, copper, gold, uranium, iron ore and other commodities. Its proximity to four of the largest economies in the world -- China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea -- creates trade and cross-border investment opportunities that are distinct from those available to competing resource-rich countries. These natural advantages, along with recent pro-business changes in foreign investment rules, securities laws, and mining regulations, have the nation poised for sustained growth in the construction sector for infrastructure development and industrialization resulting from large-scale mining projects. Mongolia is an independent democracy of approximately three million people dedicated to becoming the economic corridor of Eurasia.
