Nepal’s Exports Surge 88.6% in Two Months, Driven by Strong Trade with India; Imports Also Up 16.2% Nepal’s foreign trade has shown a strong rebound in the first two months of the current fiscal year 2082/83 (mid-July to mid-September 2025), as both exports and imports recorded significant growth. According to data published by the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), the country’s total merchandise exports surged by 88.6%, reaching Rs 47.32 billion, compared to the same period last year when exports had declined by 5.1%. This marks one of the sharpest early-year improvements in Nepal’s trade performance in recent years, mainly fueled by strong demand from India and moderate growth in other export destinations.

Options Buying vs. Options Selling: The Real Battle Between Risk and Probability
Options Buying vs. Options Selling: The Real Battle Between Risk and Probability Every trader stepping into the world of derivatives faces one of the oldest questions in financial markets — should I buy options or sell them? Both strategies belong to the same family but behave like complete opposites. One thrives on volatility and speed, while the other depends on stability and time decay. Understanding this contrast is the foundation of successful options trading.

Inflation edges up to 5.74 percent; urban cost of living rises faster
Inflation edges up to 5.74 percent; urban cost of living rises faster Nepal’s inflation increased modestly in mid-September (Bhadau 2082), with the National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) reaching 105.74 points, up from 104.96 in the previous month. According to the latest mid-month report released by the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), the figure represents a 0.74 percent rise on a monthly basis and a 1.87 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Although the overall inflation remains moderate, analysts say the composition of inflation has shifted. Prices of essential food items have largely stabilized, but the cost of education, health, housing, and personal services continues to climb, particularly in urban areas. The report also highlights a growing divide between rural and urban inflation, showing that city dwellers are now facing a stronger rise in the cost of living.

Overall Inflation Rises Moderately to 5.74% — Price Pressure Shifts to Services Sector
Overall Inflation Rises Moderately to 5.74% — Price Pressure Shifts to Services Sector Nepal’s overall consumer inflation increased moderately in mid-September (Bhadau 2082), as the National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) reached 105.74 points, up from 104.96 a month earlier. This represents a 0.74% month-on-month rise and a 1.87% year-on-year increase. According to Nepal Rastra Bank’s mid-month report, the overall price level has grown 3.86% compared to two years ago, signaling continued inflationary pressure though at a controlled pace. Analysts suggest that inflationary drivers are shifting away from food items toward services like education, health, housing, and miscellaneous expenses.

Nepal’s Inflation Shows Mixed Pattern as Food Prices Ease but Services and Non-Food Costs Remain Elevated
Nepal’s Inflation Shows Mixed Pattern as Food Prices Ease but Services and Non-Food Costs Remain Elevated Kathmandu, October 2025 | NepseTrading Economic Desk Nepal’s consumer price inflation for mid-September (Bhadau 2082/83) presents a nuanced picture of the country’s cost of living dynamics. The National Consumer Price Index (NCPI), published by the Nepal Rastra Bank, reveals that inflationary pressures persist in the non-food and services sector even as food prices begin to stabilize after several months of volatility. The index rose to 105.74 points, reflecting a 1.87% annual increase compared to the same month last year, and a 0.74% rise month-on-month compared to mid-August (Saun 2082/83). While the increase is moderate compared to historic inflation peaks, the underlying structure shows that prices of essential services and non-food commodities are becoming the primary drivers of inflation in Nepal.
