Nepal’s Cash Balance of General Government Stands at Rs 255 Billion in Mid-September 2025
As per NRB’s mid-September 2025 report, Nepal’s general government cash balance stands at Rs 255.61 billion, with local governments holding Rs 116.55 billion. While liquidity remains strong, under-execution of development budgets persists. The federal deficit of Rs 23.96 billion was partly offset by provincial and local surpluses totaling Rs 57 billion, highlighting the need for improved fiscal coordination and spending efficiency.

NRB Data: Federal Government’s Budget Deficit Widens as Expenditure Outpaces Revenue Growth
According to the NRB 2025/26 report, Nepal’s federal expenditure (Rs 163.47 billion) exceeded revenue mobilization (Rs 157.53 billion), resulting in a budget deficit of Rs 23.96 billion within two months. Borrowing through development bonds and foreign loans (Rs 80.15 billion) financed part of the shortfall. Despite adequate liquidity, the widening fiscal gap highlights growing pressure on public finances and the need for better spending efficiency.

Machinery and Vehicle Imports Deepen Nepal’s Trade Deficit – Over Rs. 60 Billion in Just Three Months
Machinery and Vehicle Imports Deepen Nepal’s Trade Deficit – Over Rs. 60 Billion in Just Three Months Nepal recorded a trade deficit exceeding Rs. 60 billion in just three months of the current fiscal year (2082/83) due to massive imports of machinery, electrical equipment, and vehicles, according to the Department of Customs. During the period between mid-July and mid-October 2025, imports under Chapter 84 (Machinery and Mechanical Appliances) reached Rs. 32.07 billion, while Chapter 87 (Vehicles and Parts) accounted for Rs. 29.33 billion. Together, these two categories made up one of the largest import segments in Nepal’s trade portfolio. Exports from these sectors, however, remained negligible — only Rs. 441 million worth of machinery and Rs. 17 million worth of vehicles were exported during the same period. As a result, the combined trade deficit from these two chapters stood at more than Rs. 61 billion.
