Prior to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, the country's economic growth averaged 5.9% during 2017–2020, boosted by stronger external demand and a recovery in foreign direct investment. COVID-19 has put the economy under deep pressure, despite resolute action taken by the Government of Mongolia to contain the virus. Gross domestic product contracted by 5.3% in 2020. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been Mongolia's largest multilateral development partner since 1991, supporting the country's transformation to a middle-income, market-based economy.
