Overview
- Public schools remain disrupted nationwide as teachers hold out for a 3.5 million MNT base salary, leaving many classrooms empty.
- Parliament’s budget lead outlined a plan to lift teacher pay by 20% in January and 10% in July, raise health workers’ salaries 10–15% and pensions 8.6%, which requires about 1.3 trillion MNT.
- The Health Ministry’s advisory council backed a temporary tax exemption or deferral on medical staff pay as a bridge toward the 3.5 million MNT goal, while health unions warn of strike action.
- The appellate administrative court upheld the 2022 cancellation of the KSC concession, confirming that the strategic Tömörtei iron-ore deposit remains under state ownership.
- Officials reported roughly 3,200 tonnes of AИ-92 gasoline in Ulaanbaatar with increased rail deliveries and coordinated distribution, as the cabinet also named J. Bold police commissioner and appointed S. Tögszhargal to lead the Tax Authority.
