Government to Launch Automated "Investment Express" Route Within Three Months

Kathmandu — To implement the concept of an "Investment Express," the government will roll out an automated route system within the next three months, Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle announced through the budget.

Wagle said all services — from company and industry registration, financial services, and participation in the tax system to visa applications — will be integrated to enable information access, compliance reporting, and risk-based inspection.

The Finance Minister said legal provisions will be made so that projects approved by the Investment Board do not need to obtain approval again from other agencies.

He said an investment visa will be provided for investment-related studies and research on approved projects.

Wagle added that the government will simplify the processes of share transfer, tax clearance, asset valuation, loan repayment, dividend distribution, and liquidation to make investment and the repatriation of profits easier.
