AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Public Finance: Nepal’s public debt jumped to Rs 2.961 trillion, about 44.87% of GDP, with foreign debt at 53.49% and domestic at 46.51%, while debt servicing needs are rising fast. Budget & Development: The government’s 2026/27 budget trims capital spending to 20.3%, raising concerns that infrastructure delivery and spending capacity remain weak. Economy Watch: NRB set Thursday’s forex rates with USD selling at Rs 151.55 and euro at Rs 174.95; gold and silver prices also eased slightly. Trade & Jobs: FNCCI urged diplomatic action to fix disruptions to Nepal’s tea exports to India after new Tea Board standards slowed testing and shipments—now threatening factories and workers. Human-Wildlife Crisis: Jhapa residents fear for safety as elephant attacks continue; the government is moving to deploy a special task force after a death in Mechinagar. Tourism Security: Nepal is rolling out a system to track foreign visitors’ stay and movement to boost safety and tourism confidence. Governance & Services: TU told professors and staff who didn’t return after study leave to report within 15 days, warning of action. Regional Ties: Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal returned from China after talks reaffirming the one-China policy and deeper bilateral cooperation.
