The main purpose of this article is to analyze and evaluate how well balanced the Mongolian economy is currently. The main criterion that determines the economic balance of any country is the internal balance of supply and demand. According to our research, in 2024, 76.3% of our country's total demand was met by domestic production, and the remaining 23.7% by imports. This shows that the Mongolian economy is imbalanced in its self-sustainability. As the Mongolian economy becomes more efficient and more competitive in the long run, it should become self-sustaining. One of the main factors leading to the internal imbalance of the Mongolian economy is the underdeveloped structure of the industry. In the analysis of the economic structure, special attention is paid to the share of the primary sector, i.e. agriculture and mining, in the GDP. The high share of this primary sector in the country's economy is considered to be backward in the economic structure. According to the 2024 data of Mongolia released by the World Bank, the primary sector occupies a very high 38.5 percent of Mongolia's GDP, which indicates that Mongolia, which belongs to the low-middle income countries category, is 15.8 percent higher than the countries of this group. The two main economic sectors of Mongolia, agriculture and mining, are highly dependent on natural and climatic conditions, and when drought and harsh winter affect the animal husbandry sector, the number of livestock decreases causing production lag. In addition to the internal imbalance of the Mongolian economy, the imbalance of external economic relations is of particular interest. First of all, this is manifested by the continuous increase in the amount of foreign debt. Another phenomenon that indicates the imbalance of the Mongolian economy is the excessive dependence on imports. It can be seen that the share of imports in the total economic resources was 23.7 percent in 2024. It is necessary to draw conclusions from this analysis and implement a policy to ensure economic balance in Mongolia for its future development.
