AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Budget Watch: Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle says Nepal’s FY 2026/27 budget is built on a five-year horizon to lay groundwork for long-term growth, with Rs 2.124 trillion and a revenue target of Rs 1.58 trillion. Economy & Governance: Economist Dr. Govinda Nepal argues the budget won’t revive the economy and criticises gaps for the poor, farmers and seniors, while private sector leaders welcome “positive signals” for the business climate. Public Finance & Corruption: Intermediaries are accused of defrauding the state treasury through inflated e-passport procurement variations, and critics say government action is too focused on prosecutions while cooperatives and public-facing issues remain neglected. Agriculture Push: The government unveils incentives to boost agricultural productivity, including grants for farmers investing at least Rs 20 million, plus farmer identity cards and land banks. Tax & Cost of Living: A “green tax” on smartphones and smartwatches is set to raise prices further, alongside broader telecom-related levies. Diplomacy & Neighbours: Rabi Lamichhane meets BJP chief Nitin Nabin in New Delhi as Nepal navigates India ties amid political heat. Sports: Nepal’s SAFF Women’s Championship semifinal vs Bangladesh is affected by a team tragedy after a player’s mother dies. Connectivity: Himalaya Airlines announces direct Kathmandu–Shenzhen flights from June 4.
