NYSSA Holds First Mongolia Investment Conference

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The New York Society of Security Analysts (NYSSA) will hold its first conference on investing in Mongolia. Regional experts will discuss the country’s economic outlook and investment potential, and executives from Mongolian public companies will discuss their businesses.

Mongolia is expected to become one of the world’s fastest growing economies over the next decade thanks to its immense resources and strategic position next to the world’s most dynamic market, China. According to the IMF, Mongolia’s GDP growth is expected to reach 7.6% in 2010 and it would average 20% per annum in 2013–2016 spurred by development of new mines and rising demand for commodities, particularly from its largest trading partner, China. The overall improved business environment in Mongolia as well as government initiatives to reform the Mongolian stock exchange will support foreign investments.
