In accordance with the “Law on Statistics”, all legal entities, which are operating in Mongolia, must be counted every five years; subsequently, a census is taking place. This, the 6^th census to be held, began on 1^st April. During the previous census, which was held in 2011, some 65,200 entities were counted. Statisticians had anticipated that this number would have doubled; so far the General Authority for State Registration and Statistics has registered considerably more – over 150,000 entities. The census will last until the end of this month.
