Imports and exports both fell in the first eight months of fiscal year 1979/80.

The first eight months of Nepal’s fiscal year 2079/80’s foreign trade statistics have been released. According to government data released on Wednesday, Nepal’s trade deficit fell by 17.86 percent to Rs. 9.53 Kharba from Rs. 11.60 Kharba the previous year.

The trade deficit is the amount by which a country’s imports cost more than its exports.

One of the major causes of the national economy’s downturn is the trade deficit. Nepal has been experiencing an imbalance in import and export factors.
