period of pandemic and international crisis. The economy has shrunk to -5.3
percent, consumer turnover has slowed tenfold, and inflation is 15 percent. On
behalf of all the citizens of Mongolia, I would like to express my deep
gratitude to the TOP-100 companies that supported the government in these
difficult times, maintained their jobs, paid their taxes on time, and honorably
fulfilled their duties as the best companies”.
“Hard days create new opportunities. Challenges also provide lessons and unity, and form the social psyche of fundamental reform. Therefore, let’s keep moving forward together and strive for prosperity”, he added.
In 2021, the total amount of taxes paid by the TOP-100 enterprises increased by 26 percent from the previous year to MNT 5.3 trillion, accounting for 47 percent of Mongolia's total tax revenue. The number of people employed by the enterprises increased by 8.3 thousand to 99 thousand, which is equivalent to 82 percent of GDP.
