Press | Public Appeal

AmCham Mongolia's member Oyu Tolgoi has issued a Public Appeal today as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"As of 9:00 a.m. on June 17, 2026, certain individuals affiliated with the “Radical Reform Movement” have blocked the concentrate transportation road with the intention of disrupting Oyu Tolgoi’s operations.

As a result, scheduled concentrate shipments have been halted, creating the risk of export disruptions and the inability to fulfill contractual obligations. For every week that exports are delayed, the state budget risks losing approximately MNT 35 billion in tax revenue, including MNT 21 billion in royalties.

Oyu Tolgoi contributes approximately 9 percent of Mongolia’s total tax revenue and injects MNT 23 billion in investment into the economy every day, supporting thousands of households and domestic businesses.

Oyu Tolgoi respects citizens’ rights to freedom of association and expression. The company has consistently met with concerned citizens and non-governmental organizations, responded to their concerns, and prioritized constructive dialogue.

However, the current situation risks causing significant losses to the state budget and damaging the reputation of Mongolia and its mining sector internationally. We therefore call on all parties to prioritize the common interests of Mongolia and refrain from actions that would disrupt the normal and continuous operation of the mine."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We stand firmly by our members' and the private sector's commitment to Mongolia's economic stability and growth. In light of recent disruptions, we urge all stakeholders to set aside divisions and return to the table for meaningful dialogue.

УРИАЛГА

Өнөөдөр буюу 2026 оны 6‑р сарын 17‑ны өглөөний 9 цагаас эхлэн “Эрс Шинэчлэл Хөдөлгөөн”-ий нэр бүхий иргэд Оюу толгойн үйл ажиллагаанд саад учруулах зорилгоор баяжмал тээвэрлэлтийн замыг хаагаад байна.

Үүний улмаас хуваарьт баяжмал тээвэрлэлт зогсож, экспорт тасалдах, гэрээгээр хүлээсэн үүргээ биелүүлж чадахгүйд хүрэх эрсдэл үүслээ. Экспорт саатсан нэг долоо хоног тутамд улсын төсөвт ойролцоогоор 35 тэрбум төгрөгийн татварын орлого, тэр дундаа 21 тэрбум төгрөгийн АМНАТ тасалдах эрсдэлтэй байна.

“Оюу толгой” компани нь Монгол Улсын төсвийн татварын орлогын 9 орчим хувийг бүрдүүлж, өдөр бүр 23 тэрбум төгрөгийн хөрөнгө оруулалтыг эдийн засгийн эргэлтэд оруулж, олон айл өрх, үндэсний бизнес эрхлэгчдийг дэмжсээр ирсэн.

“Оюу толгой” компани иргэдийн эвлэлдэн нэгдэх, үзэл бодлоо илэрхийлэх эрхийг хүндэтгэж, шаардлага тавьсан иргэд, төрийн бус байгууллагуудтай уулзан, тухай бүр хариу өгч, ажил хэрэгч харилцахыг чухалчилж ирсэн.

Гэвч одоогийн нөхцөл байдал нь улсын төсөвт их хэмжээний тасалдал үүсгэж, гадаад орчинд Монгол Улс, Монголын уул уурхайн салбарын нэр хүндийг унагаах уршигтай. Иймд Монгол Улсын нийтлэг эрх ашгийг эрхэмлэн, уурхайн үйл ажиллагааг хэвийн, тасралтгүй явуулахад саад учруулахгүй байхыг уриалж байна.

Member Update | Gund Investment

Google's digital skills aren't just changing how companies operate—they're transforming Mongolia's entire business landscape.

In an exclusive interview by Posted.mn with GundHoldings' CEO J. Bat-Ireedui, the article explored how and Workspace are driving real results: automating market research, detecting insurance fraud with 30-40% greater accuracy, and accelerating investment decisions.

When Gund Investment Holdings decided to transition their entire operation from traditional systems to Google Workspace, they knew they were taking on more than just a software migration. They were undertaking a fundamental shift in how their people work, collaborate, and solve problems.

The journey hasn't been seamless. When the company began moving more than a dozen separate operations to Google Workspace, they encountered resistance. Most employees had spent years working within Microsoft-based systems. Changing those ingrained habits proved to be the real challenge, not the technology itself. But by committing to a long-term vision and prioritizing cultural change over quick fixes, Gund Investment has transformed that challenge into competitive advantage.

Real Problems, Real Solutions

What makes their story compelling isn't just that they adopted new tools—it's how they're using them to solve concrete business problems. The company has implemented AI across three critical operational areas.

First, market intelligence. Previously, one analyst would spend an entire week manually gathering external market data for the executive leadership. Now, using Gemini AI, that same task is automated. Weekly market summaries that once took five days now take minutes, giving leadership fresher insights and freeing the analyst to focus on deeper analysis and strategic thinking.
Second, fraud detection in insurance. Insurance companies face constant pressure from fraudulent claims—a problem that demands careful human review but also consumes enormous resources. By implementing algorithmic solutions, Gund Investment improved their fraud detection accuracy by 30 to 40 percent, protecting both the company and legitimate customers while reducing the manual workload.

Third, investment decision-making. The due diligence process—evaluating potential investments, assessing risks, preparing reports—traditionally consumed weeks of time. Using Gemini and NotebookLM to prepare initial analyses, they've compressed that timeline to days. In a fast-moving business environment, that speed matters. It's the difference between capturing an opportunity and watching it pass.

Culture First, Technology Second

What's instructive about Gund Investment's approach is their understanding that technology is only as powerful as the organization's willingness to change. The CEO emphasized that implementing new systems requires more than installing software—it demands a shift in mindset, in habits, and in organizational culture.

This philosophy extends beyond operational efficiency. Gund Investment has intentionally modernized its governance structure while preserving family business values. They've brought in professional management and applied rigorous corporate standards, yet maintained the core principles that have guided the family for decades. It's a balance that many family businesses struggle with, but one that, when achieved, creates genuine sustainability.

The company draws inspiration from global examples—particularly Japan's family businesses, some of which have operated continuously for over 1,300 years. Longevity, they argue, comes not from resisting change but from managing it thoughtfully, grounding innovation in enduring values.

Beyond the tariff fight: the real Indo-Pacific trade agenda

"AAIP’s latest report documents the non-tariff barriers costing U.S. exporters and Indo-Pacific economies billions -- and the policy
commitments to fix them."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The American Association of the Indo-Pacific (AAIP) released the "Non-Tariff Barriers in the Indo-Pacific: A Sector-by-Sector, Country-by-Country Analysis", a comprehensive review of the regulatory, licensing, and standards-based barriers that continue to impede U.S. exports and investment across the region.

The report catalogues non-tariff barriers (NTBs) across eleven sectors covering more than twenty Indo-Pacific economies. Many of the barriers documented form the substantive agenda of the Trump administration's recent Agreements on Reciprocal Trade (ARTs) with Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and other regional partners.

"Tariffs have dominated the trade policy conversation for the last eighteen months, but tariffs can be paid. Non-tariff barriers make trade unpredictable, slow, and in many cases simply uneconomic," said Jackson Cox, President of AAIP.

"This report is a reminder that the structural barriers facing American exporters and investors in the Indo-Pacific are documented, persistent, and quantifiable. They are also the issues on which the recent bilateral agreements deliver the most durable value."

Although the Trump administration’s Agreements on Reciprocal Trade focus on tariff regimes that are going through multiple iterations, it’s clear the NTB commitments embedded in those agreements -- including Indonesia's exemption of U.S. goods from halal certification, Vietnam's commitments on data localisation and intellectual property enforcement -- remain relevant.

"The agreements rest on more than the tariff leverage that produced them," Cox said. "These are formal commitments by national governments to dismantle barriers that have cost American businesses – and the economies themselves -- billions of dollars over many years. The administration has continued to treat the ARTs as binding and expect the commitments to be implemented, and we will work with with our partners in the region to ensure that they are."

"Our objective is to ensure that the commitments made at the negotiating table translate into policy change on the ground," Cox said. "The agreements are a foundation. The work now is implementation, and the work of AAIP is to make sure that work gets done, and that it will benefit both American exporters and America’s economic partners in the region."

Sectoral fact sheets will be published beginning June 23, 2026.
