Global indices seem to be gaining in popularity, at least they appear more and more often in the press. This seems to be motivated by a desire to communicate some characteristics of countries, cities, companies, university, and brands on a common scale.<\/p>\n

Naturally, Mongolia is included in most indices that rank countries on some aspect of their performance. Mongolia’s ranking rarely makes the headlines except for when it makes a significant move up or down in a ranking.<\/p>\n

Having grown curious about these rankings, we are now attempting to trace Mongolia’s performance in these rankings and will add overtime performance in the future.<\/p>\n

Below, we list the name of relevant indices, Mongolia’s score, Mongolia’s ranking and comments (if any) about the methodology or other noteworthy information.<\/p>\n
