General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Mongolia's government revenue was 34.90% in 2025, ranked 55th globally. This represents a 10.3% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1981–2025.
Overview
Mongolia's government revenue stood at 34.90% in 2025, a decline of +4.00% from 2024. The IMF projects 34.90% by 2025. Mongolia ranked 55th globally.
Mongolia's government revenue has fluctuated significantly over the past four and a half decades, with a notable downward trend following the country's economic collapse in the early 1990s. The all-time low of 21.02 in 1992 was a stark contrast to the peak of 43.91 in 1985, when Mongolia's economy was heavily reliant on state-controlled industries. Since then, government revenue has slowly increased, reaching 34.90 in 2025, placing Mongolia at number 55 globally. This growth is comparable to that of its peer, the Russian Federation, which ranks slightly higher at 35.10. While still below the pre-1992 average of 41.92, Mongolia's government revenue has demonstrated resilience in the face of economic challenges. However, a significant increase in domestic revenue or a boost to the country's mining sector, which currently accounts for a substantial portion of government revenue, would be required to push Mongolia's ranking higher and sustain long-term economic growth.
