चालु आर्थिक वर्षमा नेपालका आयात १३.१ प्रतिशतले बढ्यो, चीन र तेस्रो मुलुकबाटको निर्भरता बढ्दोNepal's Imports Surge by 13.1% Amidst Rising Dependence on China and Other Nations

नेपालले चालु आर्थिक वर्ष २०८१/८२ को पहिलो ११ महिनामा कुल रु. १६ खर्ब ४४ अर्ब ७९ करोड बराबरको वस्तु आयात गरेको छ। यो अघिल्लो वर्षको सोही अवधिको तुलनामा १३.१ प्रतिशतको वृद्धि हो। नेपाल राष्ट्र बैंकको पछिल्लो तथ्यांक अनुसार, गत वर्षको सोही अवधिमा आयात रु. १४ खर्ब ५३ अर्ब ७ करोड मा सीमित थियो।

गत आर्थिक वर्ष २०८०/८१ मा आयातमा १.८ प्रतिशतको गिरावट देखिएको थियो। त्यसपछिको यो वृद्धिले आर्थिक गतिविधि पुनः तीव्र बन्दै गएको स्पष्ट संकेत दिएको छ।

भारतबाटको आयात स्थिर, तर अनुपात घट्दै

नेपालले सबैभन्दा बढी आयात गर्ने मुलुक भारतबाट चालु आर्थिक वर्षमा रु. ९७७ अर्ब १३ करोड को वस्तु आयात गरेको छ। यो अघिल्लो वर्षको तुलनामा ७.६ प्रतिशतको वृद्धि हो। यद्यपि चीन र तेस्रो मुलुकबाटको आयातको तुलनामा यो वृद्धिदर तुलनात्मक रूपमा कम छ।

गत वर्ष भारतबाट आयात ३.१ प्रतिशतले घटेको थियो, जुन विदेशी मुद्राको अभाव र पेट्रोलियम नियन्त्रणसँग सम्बन्धित मानिएको थियो। चालु वर्षको वृद्धिमा इन्धन, सवारी साधन, औषधि लगायतका वस्तुको आयात वृद्धि प्रमुख कारक मानिएको छ।

चीनबाटको आयात उच्च दरमा बढ्दै

चीनबाट आयात चालु वर्षमा रु. ३१ खर्ब ४५ अर्ब ७५ करोड पुगेको छ, जुन अघिल्लो वर्षको तुलनामा १५.३ प्रतिशतले वृद्धि हो। अघिल्लो वर्ष चीनबाट आयातमा ३४.८ प्रतिशतको तीव्र वृद्धि देखिएको थियो। दुई वर्ष लगातारको उच्च वृद्धिले चीनमा नेपालको निर्भरता गहिरिँदै गएको संकेत दिन्छ।

बिजुली उपकरण, निर्माण सामग्री, मेसिनरी र मोबाइल उपकरणको आयात नै प्रमुख कारण मानिएको छ।

तेस्रो मुलुकबाटको आयातमा उल्लेख्य सुधार

तेस्रो मुलुकहरू — यूरोप, खाडी देश, अमेरिका आदि — बाट आयात २९.५ प्रतिशत वृद्धि भई रु. ३५३ अर्ब ८ करोड पुगेको छ। अघिल्लो वर्ष सोही क्षेत्रबाटको आयातमा २० प्रतिशतको गिरावट आएको थियो।

यो वृद्धिको पछाडि विदेशी आयात सहज हुनु, औद्योगिक कच्चा पदार्थ र विलासितापूर्ण वस्तुको पुनः माग वृद्धि जस्ता कारणहरू देखिन्छन्।

नीतिगत चुनौती र आर्थिक चिन्ता

विश्लेषकहरू भन्छन् — यो आयात वृद्धिले आर्थिक गतिविधिमा सुधारको सन्देश दिए पनि व्यापार घाटा र विदेशी मुद्राको सञ्चिति मा नकारात्मक असर पार्न सक्ने सम्भावना पनि उत्तिकै छ। यसलाई सन्तुलनमा ल्याउन सरकारले निर्यात अभिवृद्धि तथा स्थानीय उत्पादन प्रतिस्थापनतर्फ स्पष्ट रणनीति लिन आवश्यक देखिन्छ।

आउँदा महिनाहरूमा आयात वृद्धिको यो गति कायम रहन्छ वा स्थिर हुन्छ भन्ने कुराले आगामी आर्थिक रणनीति निर्धारण गर्न मद्दत गर्नेछ।

Nepal's total imports have witnessed a notable upswing in the first eleven months of the fiscal year 2024/25, increasing by 13.1% compared to the same period last year. According to data released by the Nepal Rastra Bank, imports rose to Rs. 1.64 trillion, up from Rs. 1.45 trillion during the corresponding period of FY 2023/24.

This surge comes after a marginal contraction of 1.8% in FY 2023/24, signaling a sharp rebound in international trade activity amid improving domestic consumption and capital goods demand.

India Maintains Lead, But Share Contracts Slightly

Imports from India, Nepal's largest trading partner, rose by 7.6%, reaching Rs. 977.13 billion in the first eleven months of 2024/25. Though still dominant, the growth is relatively moderate when compared to the import increase from other regions. This suggests a diversification of sourcing, particularly toward China and third countries.

India had seen a 3.1% decline in the same period last year, which analysts attributed to tightening foreign exchange reserves and fuel import restrictions at the time. The 2024/25 rebound is supported by increased imports of petroleum products, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals.

Imports from China Continue to Climb Sharply

Imports from China surged to Rs. 314.57 billion, a 15.3% increase from the previous year’s figure of Rs. 272.81 billion. This builds on an already strong growth of 34.8% in 2023/24. The two-year compound growth indicates rising dependency on Chinese electronic goods, construction materials, and machinery.

With ongoing infrastructure projects and a shift in consumer electronics preferences, China’s role as a supplier is expected to expand further, possibly overtaking some segments currently dominated by Indian imports.

Significant Recovery in Imports from Other Countries

The most striking growth is seen in imports from other countries, which soared by 29.5%, from Rs. 272.59 billion in 2023/24 to Rs. 353.08 billion in 2024/25. This recovery follows a sharp 20% decline the previous year and reflects resumed trade with regions like the Gulf, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

The resurgence may be attributed to diversified procurement of industrial inputs, refined petroleum products, and luxury consumer goods that were temporarily restricted or deprioritized in the post-COVID recovery period.

Economists suggest that while import growth is a sign of economic recovery, it may reignite concerns about the widening trade deficit and pressure on foreign exchange reserves. The central bank may need to revisit import control policies or strengthen export incentives to restore trade balance.

Looking ahead, the upcoming months will be critical in determining whether this import growth sustains into FY 2025/26 or stabilizes as internal production and industrial substitutions improve.
