Mongolia PPI Now Available
The PPI for Mongolia was created in May 2016 by Mark Schreiner of Microfinance Risk Management, L.L.C. Indicators in the PPI for Mongolia are based on data from Mongolia’s 2014 Household Socio-Economic Survey conducted by the National Registration and Statistical Office..
As noted in the design documentation memo, Mongolia is the first country for which the PPI® supports relative (percentile-based) poverty lines. These lines allow poverty scoring to be applied in a number of additional types of analyses. For example, the second-quintile (40th-percentile) line—as well as the firstquintile (20th-percentile) line—might be used to help track progress toward the World Bank’s (2013) goal of “shared prosperity/inclusive economic growth”, defined as income growth among the bottom 40 percent of the world’s people.
