Inflation Remains Subdued in Nepal as Price Pressures Ease Across Key Sectors
Inflation Remains Subdued in Nepal as Price Pressures Ease Across Key Sectors Kathmandu — Nepal’s inflation outlook appears increasingly stable, with recent data up to Falgun of fiscal year 2082/83 indicating a continued moderation in price pressures. According to the latest figures, the year-on-year consumer price inflation stood at 3.62 percent, slightly lower than 3.75 percent recorded in the same month last year. This signals a gradual easing of inflationary pressures, reflecting improved supply conditions and relatively balanced demand in the domestic economy.

Deepak Bhatt Arrest: A Structural Shock to Nepal’s Economy — Reform, Risk, and the Shadow System
Deepak Bhatt Arrest: A Structural Shock to Nepal’s Economy — Reform, Risk, and the Shadow System editorial editorial editorial Kathmandu — The arrest of prominent businessman Deepak Bhatt has done far more than create headlines; it has exposed the fragile and deeply interconnected nature of Nepal’s economic structure. What initially appeared to be a law enforcement action against a single individual has quickly evolved into a broader conversation about the foundations of the country’s financial system, the influence of powerful business networks, and the risks embedded within a semi-formal economy.

New Parliament Session Begins Amid High Public Expectations for Reform and Accountability
New Parliament Session Begins Amid High Public Expectations for Reform and Accountability Kathmandu — The newly convened session of Nepal’s federal parliament has begun at a time when public expectations are unusually high, not merely for routine legislative proceedings but for meaningful transformation in governance. While parliament is constitutionally mandated to legislate, its broader role as a representative body of public aspirations places a greater responsibility on both lawmakers and the government it forms. This session, therefore, is being closely watched as a test of whether the political system can translate electoral mandates into tangible outcomes for citizens.

NRB Eases Capital Pressure on Remittance Firms, Signals Shift Toward Stability Over Speed Kathmandu. Nepal Rastra Bank has extended the deadline for remittance companies to meet the minimum paid-up capital requirement, a move that reflects a notable shift in regulatory strategy—from aggressive capital enforcement to a more stability-focused approach. Through the second amendment to the “Remittance Regulation, 2079,” the central bank has granted firms an additional two years, allowing them until mid-July 2030 (Ashad 2087) to reach the NPR 100 million threshold.
