Call for Official Tourist Information App to Modernize Nepal’s Travel Experience
Call for Official Tourist Information App to Modernize Nepal’s Travel Experience As global tourism increasingly shifts toward digital ecosystems, Nepal’s tourism sector is being urged to accelerate its technological transformation. Industry stakeholders argue that while technology has simplified travel planning worldwide, visitors arriving in Nepal still lack access to a unified, reliable digital information platform. This gap, experts say, is affecting both tourist convenience and the country’s international image.

Nepal Needs Integrated Environmental Infrastructure to Strengthen Tourism
Nepal Needs Integrated Environmental Infrastructure to Strengthen Tourism Nepal’s tourism sector, often described as a backbone of the national economy, now faces a pressing need for structural reform centered on integrated environmental infrastructure.

Nepal’s Tourism Sector Needs Structural Reforms to Maximize Mountain Advantage
Tourism has long been described as one of the main pillars of Nepal’s economy, yet the sector continues to operate below its full potential. The country is uniquely positioned on the global tourism map, hosting eight of the world’s fourteen mountains above 8,000 meters, including Mount Everest. This extraordinary geographical advantage has given Nepal international recognition and a steady inflow of high-spending adventure tourists. However, despite this natural strength, structural weaknesses within the tourism system remain evident.

Social Security Fund Accumulates Over Rs 102 Billion as Contributor Base Expands
Social Security Fund Accumulates Over Rs 102 Billion as Contributor Base Expands Nepal’s Social Security Fund (SSF) has crossed a significant financial milestone, with total contributions exceeding Rs 102 billion. As of Falgun 10, the fund has accumulated Rs 102.54 billion, reflecting steady growth since its operational launch. The figures signal both expanding participation and the gradual institutionalization of Nepal’s contributory social protection system. The social security schemes were formally introduced on Mangsir 11, 2075 BS, while contribution collection began from Shrawan 1, 2076 BS. Since then, the fund has gradually expanded its coverage across different categories of workers, marking a structural shift in how social protection is financed in Nepal.

Nepal Moves to Dismantle Informal Brokerage System in Real Estate Sector
Nepal Moves to Dismantle Informal Brokerage System in Real Estate Sector Department of Land Management and Archives has announced a major reform in Nepal’s real estate sector, aiming to end the long-standing dominance of informal brokers and middlemen. The department has decided to shift high-value property transactions in metropolitan and sub-metropolitan areas to a fully company-based system, marking one of the most significant regulatory changes in decades. Under the new policy, only licensed real estate companies will be allowed to facilitate property transactions in major urban centers. The department has so far authorized 36 companies to operate under this framework. According to Director Hari Prasad Pant, the system will become mandatory from Falgun 25, making company-based transactions a legal requirement rather than an option.

Dual ISIN System Proposed to Protect Public Investors from Misleading Share Sales
Dual ISIN System Proposed to Protect Public Investors from Misleading Share Sales CDS and Clearing Limited has announced plans to introduce a dual International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) system to prevent the misleading sale of promoter shares to general investors. The company said the proposed mechanism aims to strengthen transparency and ensure greater legal and financial protection for market participants. The provision has been included in the proposed Dematerialization Operation Directive, 2082, which has already been submitted to the Securities Board of Nepal for approval. Under the new framework, separate ISIN codes will be assigned to promoter shares and public shares, making it easier to distinguish between the two categories in the secondary market.

Energy Promises Return to Center Stage as Parties Revive Ambitious Election Agendas
Energy Promises Return to Center Stage as Parties Revive Ambitious Election Agendas As Nepal once again moves toward elections, energy has re-emerged as a central theme in political manifestos. Major parties are presenting electricity as the “key to prosperity,” raising targets for megawatt production, promoting export visions, and linking hydropower with green hydrogen and digital transformation. The numbers look impressive on paper, but for many voters, a fundamental question remains unanswered: how many of the past promises were actually fulfilled. During previous elections, similar commitments were made with equal enthusiasm. Parties pledged rapid expansion of generation capacity, higher per capita consumption, and improved export infrastructure. Yet, years later, critical problems related to power purchase agreements (PPAs), transmission bottlenecks, and regulatory uncertainty continue to limit the sector’s growth. Despite soaring targets, structural challenges remain largely unresolved.

Major Political Parties Prioritize Climate Change in Election Manifestos
Major Political Parties Prioritize Climate Change in Election Manifestos As Nepal approaches the House of Representatives election on Falgun 21, major political parties have given strong priority to climate change in their election manifestos. Rising environmental risks, frequent natural disasters, and growing pressure on livelihoods have made climate issues a central political concern. Although Nepal contributes very little to global carbon emissions, its geographical location and fragile mountain ecosystem have made it one of the most vulnerable countries to climate impacts. As a result, political parties have begun treating climate change as a national development challenge rather than only an environmental issue.
