Risk of heightened inflation from rising energy prices
Mongolia faces elevated inflation risk from sharply higher energy import costs stemming from the Middle East crisis.
Global oil prices have risen from around $70 to $110 per barrel due to the Middle East crisis, prompting Mongolia to raise diesel prices by 300 MNT. The Prime Minister has ordered a working group to assess the broader economic impact. Energy‑price hikes are projected to push headline inflation up by 1.5–2.4 percentage points, threatening household purchasing power and macroeconomic stability in the near term.
