These include devastating natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, global crises, and domestic political unrest — each leaving deep scars on growth, employment, and investment confidence. According to Tribhuvan University’s Central Department of Economics, Nepal’s informal economy accounts for nearly half of all activity, reflecting weak institutional foundations. By the end of FY 2081/82 (mid-2025), the size of the formal economy is estimated at NPR 61.07 trillion, with per-capita income at USD 1,517. While GDP has grown 2.73 times in 11 years — from NPR 22.32 trillion in 2071 (2014) — inequality, unemployment, and economic stagnation remain pressing issues.NEPSE TRADING·16 Sep, 2025

The economy is reeling from unemployment, capital flight, and weak production. Citizens face mounting frustrations with years of failed promises from political parties. It is in this fragile environment that Prime Minister Sushila Karki appointed former Finance Secretary Rameshore Khanal as the country’s new Finance Minister. Khanal’s appointment is more than routine political reshuffling. It signals an attempt to inject technocratic leadership into a ministry that has often been used for political bargaining. Known as a “tough secretary,” Khanal has built a reputation for integrity, rational decision-making, and refusal to compromise with vested interests. The question now is whether he can transform that reputation into real reforms as a minister.Dipesh Ghimire·14 Sep, 2025
