The country imposes <strong>minimal market-access barriers<\/strong>, with relatively few investment restrictions, enabling foreign investors to enter and operate in most sectors with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Success stories\u2014ranging from <strong>fast-food franchises<\/strong> to <strong>convenience stores<\/strong>\u2014demonstrate the viability of adapting international business models to the Mongolian market.
