Mongolia's GDP grew more than 12 per cent last year and was up more than 11 per cent through the first nine months of this year. The country, which became a WTO member in 1997, is enjoying a boom in mining and offers significant potential for Hong Kong traders.
Following the luncheon, the HKTDC and the Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry signed an MOU designed to strengthen economic and trade ties between Mongolia and Hong Kong. On the same occasion, InvestHK signed an MOU with Invest Mongolia to boost investment between the two economies.
