Mongolia Infant Mortality Rate
Infant mortality rate per 1,000 live births SP.DYN.IMRT.IN
Mongolia's infant mortality rate was 10.6 in 2025, ranked 105th globally. This represents a 7.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Mongolia's infant mortality rate stood at 10.6 in 2025, a decline of +0.8 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 10.6 by 2025. Mongolia ranked 105th globally.
Mongolia’s infant mortality rate has fallen dramatically over the past 45 years, descending from an all‑time peak of 95.40 in 1980 to a trough of 10.60 in 2025, placing the country at 105th globally. This decline reflects sustained improvements in maternal health services, vaccination coverage, and access to clean water, supported by government reforms and international development assistance. The 2025 figure is comparable to peer nations such as Ecuador (10.76) and Belize (10.48), suggesting that Mongolia has joined a group of lower‑middle‑income economies that have achieved infant mortality levels typical of upper‑middle‑income countries. While the reduction is impressive, the rate remains slightly above the regional average for East Asia, indicating room for further progress. Continued investment in rural health infrastructure, expansion of neonatal intensive care, and policies that address socioeconomic disparities are likely to sustain the downward trajectory and could push Mongolia’s infant mortality rate below 10 per 1,000 live births in the coming decade.
