Mongolia's industrial output increases 4.8 pct in 2025

ULAN BATOR, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia's industrial output totaled 52.9 trillion Mongolian tugriks (14.8 billion U.S. dollars) in 2025, a 4.8 percent increase year-on-year, the country's National Statistics Office (NSO) said Wednesday.

This rise was mainly attributed to a significant increase in the output of main mining and extractive products and processing industry, the NSO said in a statement.

At present, the mining sector remains one of the main pillars of the Mongolian economy, as the country is rich in natural resources such as gold, silver, copper and coal.

Mining commodities, such as coal, copper and iron ore, constituted 99.2 percent of Mongolia's total exports in 2025, the data showed. ■
