Record-Breaking Tourist Arrivals in Nepal: April 2025 Marks Highest Ever Influx of Foreign Visitors Nepal has witnessed a remarkable milestone in its tourism sector, with April 2025 recording the highest number of foreign tourist arrivals in a single month to date. According to data released by the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB), 116,490 foreign tourists entered Nepal during April alone—setting a new all-time record for monthly arrivals. This figure surpasses the previous highest April record of 109,399 tourists set in April 2019, which was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. When compared to that year, Nepal has achieved a 106.5% recovery in April arrivals, clearly indicating a strong rebound in global travel interest toward Nepal.

Nepal Fully Implements Interest Rate Corridor Structure: A Detailed Analysis
Nepal Fully Implements Interest Rate Corridor Structure for Liquidity Management: A Deep Dive Analysis Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has marked a pivotal shift in its monetary policy operations by fully implementing the Interest Rate Corridor (IRC) framework starting from February 2024 (Fagun 2080 BS). This reform aims to enhance liquidity management, anchor short-term interest rates, and drive stable and sustainable economic growth. Nepal’s journey toward modern liquidity management has been long and gradual. Initially, monetary policy tools were non-existent. After the establishment of NRB in 1956 (2013 BS), early efforts focused on currency issuance, banking system support, and exchange rate stability.

Gold Price Surge in Nepal: Causes, Impacts, and Future Outlook
Gold Price Surge in Nepal: Causes, Impacts, and Future Outlook The price of gold in Nepal has been shattering records, reaching unprecedented heights and sparking widespread discussion about its economic and cultural implications. On April 22, 2025 (Vaisakh 9, 2082), the price of hallmark gold per tola (11.66 grams) soared to nearly NPR 200,000, before slightly declining to NPR 190,400 by Wednesday, April 23, 2025. This volatility, with daily fluctuations of NPR 5,000–7,000, reflects a global trend driven by geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties, and shifting currency dynamics. However, the soaring prices are reshaping Nepal’s domestic market, reducing demand for gold jewelry, increasing public selling, and impacting government revenue.
