  • Government Utilizes 10.2% of Development Capital Amidst Sluggish Revenue Collection

    Government Utilizes 10.2% of Development Capital Amidst Sluggish Revenue Collection


    As the current fiscal year reaches its midway point with four and a half months passed, the government’s utilization of its development capital remains relatively modest at 10.2%. According to the Financial Comptroller General Office, the government has disbursed Rs 30.27 arba for the ongoing fiscal year, with an additional Rs 3.20 kharba allocated for previous expenditures.

    In the initial four and a half months of the fiscal year, the total government expenditure has reached 20.75%, totaling Rs 3.63 kharba. A noteworthy aspect is that 24.4% of this expenditure has been directed towards current expenses, covering salaries, allowances, and administrative costs for employees.

    Simultaneously, the government’s revenue collection has demonstrated sluggish performance, achieving only 20.66% of the targeted revenue during this period. The detailed breakdown indicates that 20.77% is derived from tax income, while non-tax income contributes 19.49%.

    The government’s revenue collection goal for the current financial year is set at Rs. 14.22 kharba. However, the current figure stands at Rs. 3.12 kharba, resulting in the government’s expenditures surpassing its income by Rs 50.61 arba.

  • US Dollar Reaches Record High Against Nepali Rupee, Impacting Imports and State Loans

    US Dollar Reaches Record High Against Nepali Rupee, Impacting Imports and State Loans


    The US dollar has recently attained its highest value against the Nepali rupee, reaching a new record of Rs. 133.68 last Wednesday and continuing to rise. The latest statistics from Nepal Rastra Bank on this Sunday indicate a slight increase, with the current rate standing at Rs. 133.70, marking a 2-paisa uptick from the previous record. In practical terms, this means that 1 US dollar now requires 133 rupees and 70 paisa for exchange.

    The depreciation of the Indian rupee in comparison to the US dollar has played a role in the weakening of the Nepali rupee. Given that Nepal maintains a fixed exchange rate with India, any fluctuations in the Indian currency have a direct impact on the Nepalese rupee.

    The surge in the dollar’s value carries consequences, particularly making imports more expensive. As transactions for imports are conducted in dollars, a stronger dollar translates to higher expenditure. Furthermore, the appreciation of the dollar is expected to increase the burden of state loans from foreign donor agencies.

    While a robust dollar may have advantages for sectors such as tourism, exporters, and remittance recipients, experts argue that the disadvantages are more significant due to the substantial share of imports in the Nepali economy.
