Ulaanbaatar, May 3, 2023/ MONTSAME/. Within the framework of the New Revival Policy being implemented by the Government of Mongolia, the "Rural Revival - Open Dornogobi " conference was held in Dornogobi province on April 28-29.
Lakshmi Boojoo, Director General
of the Economic Policy and Competitiveness
Research Center (EPCRC), gave a speech on "Competitiveness of
Dornogobi Province
and Issues to be
Considered" at the conference. She emphasized that
"EPCRC has been conducting a survey on the competitiveness of the
provinces since 2012, ranking 21 provinces with 174 indicators using
international methods. And for the last two years, Dornogobi aimag has led the others. However, it does not mean that all 174 indicators are good
for Dornogobi aimag. The most decreased indicator for the aimag is its business
efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on management, finance, labor
market, productivity, and human development. Human development includes
training, education, health services, and food security. The improved
competitiveness of Dornogobi aimag is the result of its long-term stable
policy and its continuity. It is proof of the collaboration of the generations of aimag management and its team.
Policy steps are not taken overnight and do not give its results in the short-term."
EPCRC is a private think tank and has been continuously producing reports
on the competitiveness of Mongolia, provinces, and capital districts
every 1-2 years since 2011. The conference was attended by employees of the
government and public organizations, as well as representatives
from 21 aimags.
