SOMO
The corporate capture of Mongolia
How the IMF, the World Bank, the US and Rio Tinto undermine Mongolia
Published on:
In this online story(opens in new window) , SOMO and the Mongolian NGO OT Watch show how international corporate and diplomatic pressure over the past 30 years prevents Mongolia to profit from its own natural resources. The story is a follow up on the report Undermining Mongolia, which was published in February this year.
