ULAN BATOR, March 17 (Xinhua) -- The spring session for the current 126-seat unicameral Mongolia's parliament convened here on Monday.

"Mongolia's parliament should pay special attention to creating the legal basis for the implementation of mega projects and fully support the coalition government for the development and progress of the country," parliament speaker Dashzegve Amarbayasgalan said in his opening remarks.

In addition, he noted that in this critical time of geopolitical and economic tension, Mongolia's parliament, as the highest state authority, needs to adhere to the principles of stability and consistent implementation of public policy, support national unity, stability of foreign policy, inter-institutional activity and coordination, and show the right attitude towards each branch of state activity.

According to the speaker, Mongolia's economy grew by 4.9 percent in the end of 2024, which is a relatively weak indicator compared to the same period of the previous year.

Unfortunately, Mongolia's inflation rate, measured by the consumer price index during the last two months of 2025 remained at a two-digit level, and real incomes and wages of workers, households and enterprises are decreasing because of the rising price.

Therefore, it is more important than anything else in the current situation to maintain the economic activity that was beginning to recover in 2023, he added.
