नियामक र निगरानी गर्ने संस्था धेरै भए । यसले निजी क्षेत्रलाई समस्यामा पारेको छ । धेरै वटा निकायबाट नियमन अनुगमन हुँदा समस्या छ । बैंक तथा वित्तीय संस्थाले धेरै पैसा कमाए भन्ने भाष्य बनेको छ । तर अहिले धेरै बैंक तथा वित्तीय संस्था समस्यामा छन् । उनीहरूका लागि केही विशेष व्यवस्था आवश्यक छ त्यस्तै बैंक तथा वित्तीय संस्थाको मर्जर र प्राप्तिमा लगाएको करले गलत सन्देश गएको छ ।

अहिले उत्पादन र निर्माण क्षेत्रमा नकारात्मक वृद्धिदर दर देखिएकामा राष्ट्रिय पुँजी निर्माणमा समस्या हुन्छ । बैंक तथा वित्तीय संस्थाको ऋण तिर्न नसकेर कालोसूचीमा पर्ने व्यवसायीको संख्या बढिरहेको छ । कोभिडपछि सरकारले लिएका संकुचित वित्त र मौद्रिक नीतिका कारणले अर्थतन्त्रमा शिथिलता आएको छ । चालू आर्थिक वर्षमा तीन दशमलव तीन प्रतिशतको आर्थिक वृद्धिदर प्रक्षेपण गरिएकामा आर्थिक शिथिलताको अन्त्य गर्न निजी क्षेत्रलाई नीतिगत संरक्षण सरकारले गर्नुपर्ने छ । आर्थिक मन्दीका कारण निजी क्षेत्रको सम्पत्तिमा ५० प्रतिशतसम्म ह्रासकट्टी भएको छ । करका दर मात्र बढाएर राजस्व बढ्दैन । चोरी पैठारी रोकिनुपर्छ । सरकारको राजस्व बढाउन निजी क्षेत्रलाई प्रताडित नबनाइयोस । आयकर ऐन संशोधन गर्नुपर्ने आवश्यकता समेत देखिएको छ ।
What did Nepal Chamber of Commerce President Kamlesh Kumar Aggarwal And Chandra Prasad Dhakal, President, FNCCI say in the pre-budget discussion organized by Nepal Economic Journalists Association (SEJAN) ?
Chandra Prasad Dhakal, President, FNCCI :
There were many regulatory and monitoring organizations. This has put the private sector in trouble. There is a problem with regulation and monitoring by many agencies. It has become a commentary that banks and financial institutions have earned a lot of money. But now many banks and financial institutions are in trouble. Some special arrangements are necessary for them, similarly, the tax imposed on mergers and acquisitions of banks and financial institutions has sent a wrong message.
Kamlesh Kumar Agarwal, President, Nepal Chamber of Commerce :
Currently, there is a problem in national capital formation due to the negative growth rate in the production and construction sector. The number of businessmen blacklisted by banks and financial institutions for not being able to pay their debts is increasing. Due to the tight finances and monetary policy taken by the government after covid, there has been a relaxation in the economy. In the current financial year, the economic growth rate of 3.3 percent has been projected, so the government has to protect the private sector by policy to end the economic stagnation. Due to the economic recession, the assets of the private sector have been reduced by up to 50 percent. Increasing the tax rate alone does not increase the revenue. Stealing must be stopped. Don't harass the private sector to increase government revenue. There is also a need to amend the Income Tax Act.
