Breakfast Seminar: Economic Development and Investment Opportunities in Mongolia

In 2011, the Mongolian economy grew a staggering 9.8% and 2012 is likely to better that.

For players in the energy, transport, infrastructure, property development or capital investment sectors, this seminar will provide an opportunity to gain insight into the fast-growing potential of Mongolia, the world's second-largest landlocked country with vast unexploited mineral resources, and the next frontier of global economic growth.

During the seminar, Michael Aldrich will provide insights on:

• A chronology of mineral developments for the next 5 - 10 years
• The challenges and opportunities of starting or expanding a business in Mongolia
• The June elections and the likely impact on the country's policies (see Newsflash and article)
• Planned public-private infrastructure projects and IPO potential

Gerhard Wackenhut will outline the situation of investment in Mongolia:

• Ongoing continuous business and investment from companies, e.g. those already invested in China, or capital market in the (real) productive economy or trade, instead of finance market investment
• As an entrepreneur he will give examples of his practical experience, dealing with Mongolian business partners and government administration.
