Ulaanbaatar, April 23, 2026 /MONTSAME/. During the regular Cabinet session, the Ministry of Economy and
Development presented an update on the current economic situation and potential
risks.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are having
a strong impact on global oil market, causing fuel prices to rise in the short
term. This increase directly affects production costs and may put pressure on
key sectors such as transportation, mining, agriculture, and trade. In
addition, there is also a risk of increased budget expenditures due to the
sharp rise in fuel prices.
In response, the Prime Minister noted that the
government is taking step-by-step measures and instructed all sectors to
develop and implement short-term action plans.
