Middle East Conflict Hits Nepal’s Tourism, Pokhara Sees Sharp Drop in Arrivals

Middle East Conflict Hits Nepal’s Tourism, Pokhara Sees Sharp Drop in Arrivals Kathmandu — Escalating tensions in the Middle East have begun to ripple through Nepal’s tourism industry, with Pokhara—the country’s प्रमुख tourist hub—witnessing a sharp decline in visitor arrivals during what is typically considered a peak season. The ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran has disrupted international air travel routes, directly affecting tourist inflow into Nepal. Tourism entrepreneurs report that nearly half of the foreign tourists who had planned to visit Pokhara have cancelled their bookings. Industry stakeholders say that a large portion of visitors from Europe and North America rely on transit routes through Middle Eastern hubs such as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. With flight disruptions and heightened security concerns in these regions, many travelers are either postponing or cancelling their trips altogether.

FDI Commitments Cross Rs 40 Billion in Eight Months as Policy Reforms Boost Investor Confidence

FDI Commitments Cross Rs 40 Billion in Eight Months as Policy Reforms Boost Investor Confidence Kathmandu — Nepal has witnessed a notable rise in foreign investment commitments in the first eight months of the current fiscal year, with total pledged Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) exceeding Rs 40.66 billion. The surge comes at a time when the government has introduced policy reforms aimed at simplifying investment procedures, including the removal of the cap under the automatic route, allowing foreign investors to bring in capital without prior approval in designated sectors.

Reconstruction After ‘Gen-Z’ Protests to Cost Over Rs 36 Billion, Total Damages Cross Rs 84 Billion Kathmandu — The financial implications of the ‘Gen-Z’ protests held on Bhadra 23–24 have begun to surface more clearly, with the government estimating that over Rs 36.3 billion will be required to rebuild damaged public infrastructure and restore physical assets. A detailed action plan prepared by the National Planning Commission outlines the scale of destruction and the fiscal burden the state now faces across federal, provincial, and local levels.

Public Debt Surges to Rs 28.78 Trillion, Raises Sustainability Concerns Amid Currency Pressure

Public Debt Surges to Rs 28.78 Trillion, Raises Sustainability Concerns Amid Currency Pressure Kathmandu — Nepal’s public debt has continued to rise significantly in the current fiscal year, reflecting mounting fiscal pressure and growing reliance on borrowing. According to the latest data up to mid-February (Falgun), total outstanding public debt has reached Rs 28.78 trillion, marking an increase of over Rs 2.04 trillion compared to the beginning of the fiscal year. This sharp rise highlights the government’s expanding financing needs amid sluggish revenue growth and elevated expenditure commitments.

Possible Balen-Led Government Faces Economic Tests Despite Favorable Indicators

Possible Balen-Led Government Faces Economic Tests Despite Favorable Indicators Kathmandu — Nepal may soon witness the formation of a new government under the leadership of senior Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) figure Balen Shah, possibly by the end of next week if political negotiations proceed as expected. Unlike traditional parties where internal power struggles often delay government formation, observers say the relatively cohesive structure within the RSP could allow the new administration to function more stably. If political unity holds and no unforeseen disruptions emerge, analysts believe such a government could potentially remain in office for the full five-year term.

Revenue Collection Shows Modest Growth but Falls Short of Target as Government Spending Remains Weak

Revenue Collection Shows Modest Growth but Falls Short of Target as Government Spending Remains Weak Kathmandu — Nepal’s revenue collection has shown a modest increase during the first eight months of the current fiscal year, but the government is still struggling to meet its ambitious targets. According to the Ministry of Finance, the government collected Rs 747.28 billion in revenue by the end of Falgun, representing about 82 percent of the target set for the period. Official data released by the ministry shows that revenue collection during the review period of fiscal year 2025/26 (2082/83) reached Rs 747.28 billion, slightly higher than the Rs 720.24 billion collected during the same period last fiscal year. The increase represents a 3.75 percent year-on-year growth, indicating gradual improvement in revenue performance despite persistent economic challenges.

Study Finds Nepal’s Gen-Z Protests Rooted in Structural Issues of Governance, Employment and Inequality Kathmandu — A recent study prepared by the Ministry of Finance has concluded that the Gen-Z movement that took place in Nepal last Bhadra was not merely a temporary outburst of frustration but a deeper structural response to long-standing issues such as corruption, weak governance, limited employment opportunities, inequality and social injustice. The report, titled “Understanding the Gen-Z Movement: Root Causes, Realities and a Roadmap for a Stronger Nepal,” highlights a complex mix of social, economic and administrative factors that contributed to the youth-led protests.
