Mongolia's mining wealth is cause for concern (Opinion Article)
As more corporations vie for contracts to mine Mongolia's rich resources, the poor are sold the idea of a better quality of life
May 15 (guardian.co.uk) "Mongolia is a young nation!" "Mongolia has just discovered that it is actually rich!" "Mongolia is in line to become another Kuwait or Saudi Arabia!" These sentences seemed to resurface in conversations with residents of UlaanBaatar during my brief visit last month. The conversations were about Mongolia's mining wealth, and the booming interest from international governments and multinational corporations.

Aldrich has observed the development of Mongolia's mining-dependent economy and the flow of investment northwards from China.

How does legal work in Ulan Bator compare to that in Beijing?
There are some similarities. The legal systems of all former-socialist states tend to have much in common, but Mongolia has a greater respect for the freedom of individuals who enter into contracts without obtaining governmental agency approval, or those who don't necessary comply with regulatory restrictions that may or may not be enforced.
Establishing a wholly owned subsidiary with foreign investment in Mongolia can be completed in several days, as opposed to the weeks of processing required in China.

Optimism about growth in Internet and e-commerce usage
May 14 (news.mn) Some technology companies from countries like South Korea and China have started to open offices in Mongolia, focusing on software development rather than hardware production, and the telecommunication and Internet market represents a small but growing sector in the country. Government initiatives, like the e-Mongolia

There has been successful liberalization of all market segments, partial privatization of the fixed-line incumbent operator, Mongolia Telecom, and establishment of an independent regulator.
