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
