Jargalsaikhan Dambadarjaa (Mongolian: Дамбадаржаагийн Жаргалсайхан, Dambadarjaagiĭn Jargalsaĭkhan; also known as Jargal or Jargal Defacto) is an independent Mongolian economist, television host, writer, and political commentator.[2][3][4] He is a founder of the Ulaanbaatar-based think tank The Defacto Institute.[5]

Education and early career

Jargal first attended the University of Tashkent as a Russian student before transferring to Moscow State University where he graduated with a diploma in economics in 1984.[6] He was part of the pro-democracy activist group during Mongolia’s 1990 democratic revolution.[7][8] Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, he worked in Mongolia in various sectors, including banking, finance, tourism, and public service.[9] In 2002, he completed his MBA from the University of Denver.[10] He has also served as president of the Economic Club of Ulaanbaatar.[11]

DeFacto media

Jargal operates the Defacto media organization which includes the influential media portal JargalDefacto.com.[12] The website hosts video from Defacto Interview, Defacto Review, and Defacto Debate, along with digital versions of his weekly newspaper columns.[13]

“Defacto Interview” (Дэфакто Ярилцлага) is a long-running talk show hosted by Jargal. Interviews are conducted in either Mongolian, Russian, or English. Past guests have included Mongolian and international authors, scholars, politicians, diplomats, business leaders, and world figures.[14][15][16] “Defacto Review” (Дефакто тойм) is a news-commentary show that is broadcasted weekly on Mongolian television, as well as live-streamed online. Two versions of the show—in Mongolian and English—are produced. The show features a revolving set of hosts and commentators, including Jargal himself.[17] “Defacto Debates” (Дефакто Мэтгэлцээн) began in 2017 and are a first-of-their-kind televised debate show moderated by Jargal.[18] Topics have ranged from good governance and ger district air pollution, to fintech and the 2020 Mongolian parliamentary elections. Jargal also regularly hosts the Mongolian-language “Defacto Radio” show on Business Radio 98.9FM in Ulaanbaatar.[19][20]
