KATHMANDU, December 19, 2025 – Finance Minister Rameshore Prasad Khanal announced on Thursday that Nepal’s economy has entered a definitive phase of recovery, bolstered by a significant 10 percent surge in government revenue over the last trimester.
Speaking at the "Gorkhapatra Discourse" in the capital, Minister Khanal stated that the uptick in revenue serves as a primary indicator of a rebounding national economy. He attributed this fiscal growth to a steady rise in industrial output and enhanced productivity across various sectors of the country.
During the program, the Finance Minister emphasized that the interim government is currently "doubling down" on two core economic pillars to maintain this momentum: liquidity management and investment facilitation.
"Stabilizing the banking sector is essential to ensure credit remains accessible for businesses," Khanal explained, adding that the government is committed to fostering a predictable and favorable investment environment to attract both domestic and international capital.
In a move seen as a major endorsement of the government's recent fiscal direction, Minister Khanal shared that Chinese investors have expressed high confidence in Nepal’s shifting economic landscape. This surge in interest follows a series of recent economic reforms aimed at rebuilding Nepal's reputation as a viable destination for global investment.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Finance plans to institutionalize a consistent dialogue with the private sector. Minister Khanal noted that an active partnership with business leaders is critical to tackling lingering economic challenges and ensuring that recent gains in production translate into long-term financial stability.
