About MIT-GTZ

 

 

 

 

 
 
Mongolian-German Technical Cooperation (MIT-GTZ) is a Mongolian - German joint project between the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Mongolia and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH (German Technical Cooperation). MIT-GTZ is located in the Ministry of Industry and Trade Building in Ulaanbaatar.

 

The MIT-GTZ joint project acts on the Government level. It focuses on the elaboration of the regulatory institutional environment which is beneficial for the export-oriented business sectors. They advise and support Mongolian government institutions as well as other relevant stakeholders in the field of industrial and trade policy, by means of a flexible and target-oriented change management system.

Mongolia:
Albeit it has faced substantial structural changes, Mongolia successfully managed to stabilize its economy and to achieve some economic growth during the transition process to a market economy.

However, domestic markets in Mongolia are too small to generate sufficient and sustainable economic growth for significantly reducing poverty and unemployment (core problem). The much needed utilization of existing export potentials is hampered by reduced international competitiveness of Mongolian products, restricted access to foreign market, and unfavorable institutional frame conditions. Although trade liberalization has been implemented successfully, more stream-lined national industrial and trade policies are to be drafted.

Publishing
MIT-GTZ publishes studies on the Mongolian Economy, trade, government policy and regulation, vertical industries, as well as studies of universal interest on economic development and export strategies.
