अर्थतन्त्रको अघि बढाइका लागि निजी क्षेत्रको मनोबल बढाउँदैछ सरकार : अर्थमन्त्री पौडेलGovernment Focused on Boosting Private Sector Confidence: Finance Minister Poudel
उपप्रधानमन्त्री तथा अर्थमन्त्री विष्णु पौडेलले सरकार निजी क्षेत्रलाई वेवास्ता नगरी त्यसको मनोबल बढाउने दिशामा काम गरिरहेको बताएका छन्। शनिबार सिंहदरबारमा आयोजित पूर्व बजेट छलफलमा बोल्दै उनले अर्थतन्त्रमा ८० प्रतिशत हिस्सेदारी रहेको निजी क्षेत्रको मनोबल बिना देशको आर्थिक प्रगति सम्भव नहुने स्पष्ट पारे।
उनले भने, "सरकारलाई राम्रोसँग थाहा छ – निजी क्षेत्रको मनोबल नबढाई देशको अर्थतन्त्र अघि बढ्दैन। त्यसैले सरकारले निजी क्षेत्रसँग जीवन्त सहकार्य गर्दै आएको छ। दशकौँदेखि सम्बोधन हुन नसकेका मुद्धालाई अध्यादेशमार्फत समाधान गरिएको छ।"
अर्थमन्त्री पौडेलले समाजवादबारे समेत टिप्पणी गरे। उनले भने, “नेपालमा अहिले समाजवाद छैन, र चाँडै आउँछ भन्ने पनि छैन। समाजवादको मार्ग आर्थिक समृद्धिबाट सुरु हुन्छ। त्यसका लागि आम नागरिकको समान पहुँच र विभेदको अन्त्य अनिवार्य छ।”
उनको भनाइ अनुसार, आगामी बजेटमा पनि निजी क्षेत्रमैत्री नीति अवलम्बन गरिने र त्यसमार्फत आर्थिक स्थायित्व तथा समृद्धिको बाटो खोलिने छ।
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Poudel stated that the government is actively working to boost the confidence of the private sector. Speaking at a pre-budget discussion held at Singha Durbar on Saturday, he emphasized that it is incorrect to claim the government has neglected the private sector.
"The government is fully focused on strengthening the morale of the private sector," he said. "We are well aware that the economy cannot progress without uplifting the confidence of the private sector, which holds an 80% share in the national economy."
He added that legal provisions have already been introduced through an ordinance to address long-standing issues faced by the private sector. “We’ve maintained a close and active collaboration with the private sector. Issues that remained unresolved for decades have now been addressed via ordinance, based on input from the private sector,” he said.
Finance Minister Poudel also remarked on the topic of socialism in Nepal. “There is no socialism in Nepal yet, and it’s not coming anytime soon. True socialism is still far off. For that, the country must first achieve economic prosperity, ensure equal access for all citizens, and eliminate all forms of discrimination,” he stated.
He hinted that the upcoming budget will include private-sector-friendly policies aimed at promoting economic stability and long-term prosperity.
