The Cyprus eVisa is ideal for travelers who want to explore the country for leisure or recreation.

Green Economy Emerges as Central Election Agenda as Parties Compete Over Forest-Based Prosperity Plans

Green Economy Emerges as Central Election Agenda as Parties Compete Over Forest-Based Prosperity Plans Kathmandu — With the upcoming House of Representatives elections approaching, Nepal’s major political parties have increasingly placed the green economy at the center of their campaign narratives, presenting forest conservation and sustainable resource use as pathways to economic growth, employment generation, and climate resilience. The shift signals a growing recognition among political actors that environmental policy is no longer limited to conservation debates but has become closely tied to economic strategy and voter appeal. Across party manifestos, forests are being framed not merely as ecological assets but as economic engines capable of driving rural development and reducing import dependency. Campaign messaging highlights job creation, carbon trading opportunities, climate adaptation programs, and sustainable natural resource management as tools to attract voters amid economic uncertainty and rising unemployment concerns.

Nepal Begins Budget Work, Sets Up Revenue Advisory Committee to Shape Tax and Economic Reforms

Nepal Begins Budget Work, Sets Up Revenue Advisory Committee to Shape Tax and Economic Reforms Kathmandu — Nepal’s Ministry of Finance has formally kicked off the process of preparing the national budget for the upcoming fiscal year by constituting a Revenue Advisory Committee, signaling the start of the government’s annual fiscal planning cycle. Officials say the move is aimed at collecting structured policy input before the budget ceiling, priorities, and tax proposals are finalized. According to the ministry, the committee has been formed under a decision of Finance Minister Rameshwar Prasad Khanal dated Magh 28 (Nepali calendar), with the Ministry’s Revenue Secretary serving as coordinator. The ministry’s spokesperson, Tank Prasad Pandey, said the committee has already started work, indicating that early-stage consultations and technical reviews are now underway. At its core, the committee’s mandate is broader than routine “tax suggestions.” It has been asked to advise on the economic context and on what the budget should prioritize—meaning it can influence both the revenue strategy (how the state raises money) and the policy direction (where the state plans to intervene, reform, or incentivize). In practice, such committees often become the route through which competing interests—business groups, sector associations, experts, and government agencies—try to shape the budget narrative.

Rising US–Iran Tensions Push Middle East Toward a Dangerous Turning Point

Rising US–Iran Tensions Push Middle East Toward a Dangerous Turning Point Kathmandu — The long-standing hostility between the United States and Iran appears to be entering one of its most volatile phases in decades as geopolitical tensions escalate sharply at the beginning of 2026. What began as ideological rivalry rooted in historical mistrust has now evolved into a complex confrontation with global economic, military, and diplomatic consequences. Analysts warn that the situation is approaching a critical threshold where miscalculation by either side could trigger a wider regional conflict. The roots of the confrontation stretch back more than seventy years. The 1953 coup in Iran, widely associated with Western intervention, and the 1979 Islamic Revolution that reshaped Iran into an Islamic Republic laid the foundation for enduring hostility between Tehran and Washington. Since then, mutual suspicion has shaped foreign policy decisions on both sides, turning the relationship into one of the most persistent geopolitical rivalries of the modern era.

Nepal Must Reduce Production Costs to Compete in the International Market Nepal’s industrial journey formally began in B.S. 1992 with the establishment of the Industrial Council, followed by the founding of Biratnagar Jute Mill in B.S. 1993. The introduction of the Company Act in the same year paved the way for the establishment of rice, cotton, and sugar mills.

Yet, beneath this optimistic narrative lies a pattern of structural gaps that continue to limit Nepal’s ability to fully capitalize on its advantages.
