In a country of only 2.8 million people, that represents a huge opportunity.  ‘By 2030, Mongolia will become one of the three richest countries in Asia by GDP per capita after Singapore and Japan,’ Alisher Ali, founder of the investment group Silk Road Finance, said earlier this year in an interview.”
