In 1996. the President of the United States made the first determination that Mongolia was in fullcompliance with the human rights objectives of the JacksonVanik trade legislation and the President has renewed that determination each year since. and most recently on July 1. 1998. Since 1990. there have been five free and fair elections in Mongolia which have coincided with significant reforms of the government and the economy. Approximately one year ago. the Economist magazine heralded Mongolias dramatic economic reforms of the last several years by calling Mongolians "those freetrading Mongolians." Unfortunately however. these dramatic economic and political reforms in Mongolia have recently begun to suffer from factional fighting in that country and the emergence of the Mongolian Peoples Revolutionary Party (MPRP). Most recently. the MPRP has begun to attack the ambitious privatization and private sector development plans of the Democratic coalition in Mongolia and a high level Ministry official was recently assassinated. The World Bank estimates that Mongolia must have a 5% growth rate to create new jobs for its entrants into the work force.
