The total exports decreased due to a fall in exports to India, China and other countries in the review period on account of current unfavorable circumstances.</p>

<p>Likewise, the imports from all customs points declined due to the protest and unofficial blockade imposed by India on southern trade customs points, the economic outlook released by the central bank reads.</p>

<p>However, the balance of payments has remained favorable due to the contraction in imports and upsurge in transfer income.</p>

<p>Exports to China dropped by 66.5 percent in the review period contrary to an increase of 93.2 percent in the same period of the previous year. This fall is mainly attributed to the decrease in the exports of tanned skin, readymade garments, noodles, rudrakshya among others, according to the NRB.</p>

<p>Exports to India decreased by 35.9 percent during the review period compared to a drop of 6.4 percent in the same period of the previous year. The fall in exports to India is attributed mainly of the fall in the exports of zinc sheet, juice, textiles, polyster yarn, among others. The export had decreased by Rs. 46.7 million to Rs. 906 million in 1970/71 due to the Indian blockade in the form of quantitative restriction on exports.</p>

<p>During the review period, merchandise imports shrank by 31.9 percent to Rs. 130.49 billion. Such imports had gone up by 24.4 percent to Rs. 191.72 billion in the same period of the previous year. The slowdown in imports is attributed mainly to a decrease in imports of petroleum products on account of unofficial economic blockade imposed by India on trade routes in the Southern parts of the country.</p>

<p>Similarly, total trade deficit during the review period contracted by 32.8 percent to Rs. 113.68 billion compared to an expansion of 29.1 percent in the same period of the previous year. Trade deficit with India, China and other countries narrowed down by 35.3 percent, 11.2 percent, 38.6 percent respectively in the review period.</p>

<p>The FOB based trade deficit decreased by 32.7 percent to Rs. 109.81 billion in the review period. Such deficit had gone up by 29.6 percent in the same period of the previous year, according to the central bank. RSS</p>

<p>The parking fee of the containers and warehouse till September 20 to October 29 was relinquished as the goods supplies were hard hit due to the agitations in Madhes, Chief Executive Officer of Terminals Bishnu Chaudhary said.</p>

<p>Chaudhary said that the fresh move of the company would help offer some sigh of relief to the goods importers.</p>

<p>A huge quantity of goods imported from India is stranded in the dry port for almost 45 days due to the general shutdown. The goods unloaded from Indian trains are kept in warehouses and open space due to the suppliers&rsquo; failure to send the goods to the destinations.</p>

<p>Generally, the importers should pay seven paisa per kilogram from the first fourth to tenth day for parking the goods in the warehouse and per kilogram nine paisa till the 30th day. Likewise, the importers should collect their unloaded goods within 24 hours from the open space.</p>

<p>Similarly, the goods importers should pay Rs 350 per day per containers for the parking.</p>

The government will devise meaningful and result-oriented efforts to embark on the journey of independence putting an end to the current dependence, he further noted.<br />
In order to end existing load-shedding, the government will lay emphasis on accelerating the construction of current hydropower projects and transmission lines and encouraging investment of capital for small and medium hydro projects and expanding alternative renewable energy, PM Oli stated in his address.

<p>During the meeting, Ambassador Maskey familiarized Vice President Pun that final preparation of signing a trade agreement was underway as the agreement in principle was already signed between Nepal and China to bring fuel from China.<br />
<br />
The Ambassador informed that there was some delay in signing the trade agreement as China has been formulating rules regarding the export of fuel as it has never exported fuel so far, VP Pun&#39;s Chief Personal secretary, Suk Bahadur Roka, told the National News Agency (RSS).<br />
<br />
He further said that although petrol and diesel could be imported via Kerung check point, attempts were underway to bring gas bullet via Tatopani border check point as it has been difficult to bring it from Kerung.<br />
<br />
Ambassador Maskey said that the Chinese side was ready to bring gas bullets to Panchkhal directly by establishing a joint customs at Panchkhal of Kavre.<br />
<br />
&quot;Kerung is in the priority of China. But it is not possible to bring gas bullets from Kerung as the road towards Nepal is narrow. We will import diesel, petrol and other goods from Kerung. We have proposed for importing gas bullets via Tatopani,&quot; said Roka, quoting Ambassador Maskey.<br />
<br />
On the occasion, the Ambassador urged VP Pun to take initiative for the establishment of a joint customs, saying Chinese proposal to bring gas bullets directly to Panchkhal by establishing joint customs there was positive. RSS</p>

<p>The blockade has created a shortage of cooking oil, spices, sugar, lentils and other essentials in the Nepali markets as Dhangadhi and Attariya, which has spurred the exodus of shoppers to the Indian market during the festival time.</p>

<p>Apart from the shortage, the prices of essentials have gone up in the Nepali markets.</p>

<p>&quot;Ninety-nine percent of the customers in Gauriphanta are Nepalis,&quot; said Krishna Gupta, a local cloth merchant in Gauriphanta.</p>

<p>Gupta said although there is the border blockade, the age-old relations between the people of the two countries has not seen any let up. He added that the border blockade is a political issue between Kathmandu and New Delhi and it should be resolved by the governments of both countries.</p>

<p>&quot;However, the customers from faraway places in Nepal in the Far-western region who used to come to Gauriphanta for shopping have not been able to come here due to the difficulty with transport given the less number of vehicles plying owing to the acute fuel shortage in Nepal, &quot; he added.</p>

<p>The staffers at the Indian customs who often used to harass the Nepali shoppers while crossing the border into Nepal, however, have not resorted to this kind of treatment this time during the festival time, shared Kapil Bhatta of Kailali who was returning home after shopping in Gauriphanta.</p>

<p>Likewise, more than one thousand Nepalis daily go to another Indian market Bangaon for shopping these days, according to local traders. Bangaon is close to Gauriphanta. RSS</p>

The total exports decreased due to a fall in exports to India, China and other countries in the review period on account of current unfavorable circumstances.</p>

<p>Likewise, the imports from all customs points declined due to the protest and unofficial blockade imposed by India on southern trade customs points, the economic outlook released by the central bank reads.</p>

<p>However, the balance of payments has remained favorable due to the contraction in imports and upsurge in transfer income.</p>

<p>Exports to China dropped by 66.5 percent in the review period contrary to an increase of 93.2 percent in the same period of the previous year. This fall is mainly attributed to the decrease in the exports of tanned skin, readymade garments, noodles, rudrakshya among others, according to the NRB.</p>

<p>Exports to India decreased by 35.9 percent during the review period compared to a drop of 6.4 percent in the same period of the previous year. The fall in exports to India is attributed mainly of the fall in the exports of zinc sheet, juice, textiles, polyster yarn, among others. The export had decreased by Rs. 46.7 million to Rs. 906 million in 1970/71 due to the Indian blockade in the form of quantitative restriction on exports.</p>

The slowdown in imports is attributed mainly to a decrease in imports of petroleum products on account of unofficial economic blockade imposed by India on trade routes in the Southern parts of the country.</p>

<p>Himalayan Terminals, the dry port operator, announced to waive the parking fees of 40 days for the importers stating that the good suppliers were unable to supply the commodities due to an indefinite strike imposed by the Madhes-centric political parties.</p>

<p>The parking fee of the containers and warehouse till September 20 to October 29 was relinquished as the goods supplies were hard hit due to the agitations in Madhes, Chief Executive Officer of Terminals Bishnu Chaudhary said.</p>

<p>Chaudhary said that the fresh move of the company would help offer some sigh of relief to the goods importers.</p>

<p>A huge quantity of goods imported from India is stranded in the dry port for almost 45 days due to the general shutdown. The goods unloaded from Indian trains are kept in warehouses and open space due to the suppliers&rsquo; failure to send the goods to the destinations.</p>

<p>Generally, the importers should pay seven paisa per kilogram from the first fourth to tenth day for parking the goods in the warehouse and per kilogram nine paisa till the 30th day. Likewise, the importers should collect their unloaded goods within 24 hours from the open space.</p>

<p>Similarly, the goods importers should pay Rs 350 per day per containers for the parking.</p>

<p>According to the Dry Port Customs Office, Nepal suffers a loss of Rs 10 million, except that of revenue collection, if the dry port was closed for a day. RSS</p>

&quot;Kerung is in the priority of China. But it is not possible to bring gas bullets from Kerung as the road towards Nepal is narrow. We will import diesel, petrol and other goods from Kerung.

<p>The blockade has created a shortage of cooking oil, spices, sugar, lentils and other essentials in the Nepali markets as Dhangadhi and Attariya, which has spurred the exodus of shoppers to the Indian market during the festival time.</p>

<p>Apart from the shortage, the prices of essentials have gone up in the Nepali markets.</p>

<p>&quot;Ninety-nine percent of the customers in Gauriphanta are Nepalis,&quot; said Krishna Gupta, a local cloth merchant in Gauriphanta.</p>

<p>Gupta said although there is the border blockade, the age-old relations between the people of the two countries has not seen any let up. He added that the border blockade is a political issue between Kathmandu and New Delhi and it should be resolved by the governments of both countries.</p>

<p>&quot;However, the customers from faraway places in Nepal in the Far-western region who used to come to Gauriphanta for shopping have not been able to come here due to the difficulty with transport given the less number of vehicles plying owing to the acute fuel shortage in Nepal, &quot; he added.</p>

<p>The staffers at the Indian customs who often used to harass the Nepali shoppers while crossing the border into Nepal, however, have not resorted to this kind of treatment this time during the festival time, shared Kapil Bhatta of Kailali who was returning home after shopping in Gauriphanta.</p>

<p>Likewise, more than one thousand Nepalis daily go to another Indian market Bangaon for shopping these days, according to local traders. Bangaon is close to Gauriphanta. RSS</p>

The total exports decreased due to a fall in exports to India, China and other countries in the review period on account of current unfavorable circumstances.</p>

<p>Likewise, the imports from all customs points declined due to the protest and unofficial blockade imposed by India on southern trade customs points, the economic outlook released by the central bank reads.</p>

<p>However, the balance of payments has remained favorable due to the contraction in imports and upsurge in transfer income.</p>

<p>Exports to China dropped by 66.5 percent in the review period contrary to an increase of 93.2 percent in the same period of the previous year. This fall is mainly attributed to the decrease in the exports of tanned skin, readymade garments, noodles, rudrakshya among others, according to the NRB.</p>

<p>Exports to India decreased by 35.9 percent during the review period compared to a drop of 6.4 percent in the same period of the previous year. The fall in exports to India is attributed mainly of the fall in the exports of zinc sheet, juice, textiles, polyster yarn, among others. The export had decreased by Rs. 46.7 million to Rs. 906 million in 1970/71 due to the Indian blockade in the form of quantitative restriction on exports.</p>

<p>During the review period, merchandise imports shrank by 31.9 percent to Rs. 130.49 billion. Such imports had gone up by 24.4 percent to Rs. 191.72 billion in the same period of the previous year. The slowdown in imports is attributed mainly to a decrease in imports of petroleum products on account of unofficial economic blockade imposed by India on trade routes in the Southern parts of the country.</p>

<p>Similarly, total trade deficit during the review period contracted by 32.8 percent to Rs. 113.68 billion compared to an expansion of 29.1 percent in the same period of the previous year. Trade deficit with India, China and other countries narrowed down by 35.3 percent, 11.2 percent, 38.6 percent respectively in the review period.</p>

<p>The FOB based trade deficit decreased by 32.7 percent to Rs. 109.81 billion in the review period. Such deficit had gone up by 29.6 percent in the same period of the previous year, according to the central bank. RSS</p>

<p>The parking fee of the containers and warehouse till September 20 to October 29 was relinquished as the goods supplies were hard hit due to the agitations in Madhes, Chief Executive Officer of Terminals Bishnu Chaudhary said.</p>

<p>Chaudhary said that the fresh move of the company would help offer some sigh of relief to the goods importers.</p>

<p>A huge quantity of goods imported from India is stranded in the dry port for almost 45 days due to the general shutdown. The goods unloaded from Indian trains are kept in warehouses and open space due to the suppliers&rsquo; failure to send the goods to the destinations.</p>

<p>Generally, the importers should pay seven paisa per kilogram from the first fourth to tenth day for parking the goods in the warehouse and per kilogram nine paisa till the 30th day. Likewise, the importers should collect their unloaded goods within 24 hours from the open space.</p>

<p>Similarly, the goods importers should pay Rs 350 per day per containers for the parking.</p>

<br />
&quot;Kerung is in the priority of China. But it is not possible to bring gas bullets from Kerung as the road towards Nepal is narrow. We will import diesel, petrol and other goods from Kerung. We have proposed for importing gas bullets via Tatopani,&quot; said Roka, quoting Ambassador Maskey.<br />
<br />
On the occasion, the Ambassador urged VP Pun to take initiative for the establishment of a joint customs, saying Chinese proposal to bring gas bullets directly to Panchkhal by establishing joint customs there was positive. RSS</p>

<p>The blockade has created a shortage of cooking oil, spices, sugar, lentils and other essentials in the Nepali markets as Dhangadhi and Attariya, which has spurred the exodus of shoppers to the Indian market during the festival time.</p>

<p>Apart from the shortage, the prices of essentials have gone up in the Nepali markets.</p>

<p>&quot;Ninety-nine percent of the customers in Gauriphanta are Nepalis,&quot; said Krishna Gupta, a local cloth merchant in Gauriphanta.</p>

<p>Gupta said although there is the border blockade, the age-old relations between the people of the two countries has not seen any let up. He added that the border blockade is a political issue between Kathmandu and New Delhi and it should be resolved by the governments of both countries.</p>

<p>&quot;However, the customers from faraway places in Nepal in the Far-western region who used to come to Gauriphanta for shopping have not been able to come here due to the difficulty with transport given the less number of vehicles plying owing to the acute fuel shortage in Nepal, &quot; he added.</p>

<p>The staffers at the Indian customs who often used to harass the Nepali shoppers while crossing the border into Nepal, however, have not resorted to this kind of treatment this time during the festival time, shared Kapil Bhatta of Kailali who was returning home after shopping in Gauriphanta.</p>

<p>Likewise, more than one thousand Nepalis daily go to another Indian market Bangaon for shopping these days, according to local traders. Bangaon is close to Gauriphanta. RSS</p>

The total exports decreased due to a fall in exports to India, China and other countries in the review period on account of current unfavorable circumstances.</p>

<p>Likewise, the imports from all customs points declined due to the protest and unofficial blockade imposed by India on southern trade customs points, the economic outlook released by the central bank reads.</p>

<p>However, the balance of payments has remained favorable due to the contraction in imports and upsurge in transfer income.</p>

<p>Exports to China dropped by 66.5 percent in the review period contrary to an increase of 93.2 percent in the same period of the previous year. This fall is mainly attributed to the decrease in the exports of tanned skin, readymade garments, noodles, rudrakshya among others, according to the NRB.</p>

<p>Exports to India decreased by 35.9 percent during the review period compared to a drop of 6.4 percent in the same period of the previous year. The fall in exports to India is attributed mainly of the fall in the exports of zinc sheet, juice, textiles, polyster yarn, among others. The export had decreased by Rs. 46.7 million to Rs. 906 million in 1970/71 due to the Indian blockade in the form of quantitative restriction on exports.</p>

<p>During the review period, merchandise imports shrank by 31.9 percent to Rs. 130.49 billion. Such imports had gone up by 24.4 percent to Rs. 191.72 billion in the same period of the previous year. The slowdown in imports is attributed mainly to a decrease in imports of petroleum products on account of unofficial economic blockade imposed by India on trade routes in the Southern parts of the country.</p>

<p>Similarly, total trade deficit during the review period contracted by 32.8 percent to Rs. 113.68 billion compared to an expansion of 29.1 percent in the same period of the previous year. Trade deficit with India, China and other countries narrowed down by 35.3 percent, 11.2 percent, 38.6 percent respectively in the review period.</p>

<p>Himalayan Terminals, the dry port operator, announced to waive the parking fees of 40 days for the importers stating that the good suppliers were unable to supply the commodities due to an indefinite strike imposed by the Madhes-centric political parties.</p>

<p>The parking fee of the containers and warehouse till September 20 to October 29 was relinquished as the goods supplies were hard hit due to the agitations in Madhes, Chief Executive Officer of Terminals Bishnu Chaudhary said.</p>

<p>Chaudhary said that the fresh move of the company would help offer some sigh of relief to the goods importers.</p>

<p>A huge quantity of goods imported from India is stranded in the dry port for almost 45 days due to the general shutdown. The goods unloaded from Indian trains are kept in warehouses and open space due to the suppliers&rsquo; failure to send the goods to the destinations.</p>

<p>Generally, the importers should pay seven paisa per kilogram from the first fourth to tenth day for parking the goods in the warehouse and per kilogram nine paisa till the 30th day. Likewise, the importers should collect their unloaded goods within 24 hours from the open space.</p>

<p>Similarly, the goods importers should pay Rs 350 per day per containers for the parking.</p>

<p>According to the Dry Port Customs Office, Nepal suffers a loss of Rs 10 million, except that of revenue collection, if the dry port was closed for a day. RSS</p>

&quot;The decision is not targeted against any country; it is the decision to make Nepal&#39;s trade diversified and balanced. We would like to develop the historical bilateral relations between Nepal and India in a way that Nepal as a landlocked country can enjoy the right of access to sea transit trade and unobstructed import-export of goods&quot;, he asserted.<br />
The government will devise meaningful and result-oriented efforts to embark on the journey of independence putting an end to the current dependence, he further noted.<br />
In order to end existing load-shedding, the government will lay emphasis on accelerating the construction of current hydropower projects and transmission lines and encouraging investment of capital for small and medium hydro projects and expanding alternative renewable energy, PM Oli stated in his address.

<p>During the meeting, Ambassador Maskey familiarized Vice President Pun that final preparation of signing a trade agreement was underway as the agreement in principle was already signed between Nepal and China to bring fuel from China.<br />
<br />
The Ambassador informed that there was some delay in signing the trade agreement as China has been formulating rules regarding the export of fuel as it has never exported fuel so far, VP Pun&#39;s Chief Personal secretary, Suk Bahadur Roka, told the National News Agency (RSS).<br />
<br />
He further said that although petrol and diesel could be imported via Kerung check point, attempts were underway to bring gas bullet via Tatopani border check point as it has been difficult to bring it from Kerung.<br />
<br />
Ambassador Maskey said that the Chinese side was ready to bring gas bullets to Panchkhal directly by establishing a joint customs at Panchkhal of Kavre.<br />
<br />
&quot;Kerung is in the priority of China. But it is not possible to bring gas bullets from Kerung as the road towards Nepal is narrow. We will import diesel, petrol and other goods from Kerung. We have proposed for importing gas bullets via Tatopani,&quot; said Roka, quoting Ambassador Maskey.<br />
<br />
On the occasion, the Ambassador urged VP Pun to take initiative for the establishment of a joint customs, saying Chinese proposal to bring gas bullets directly to Panchkhal by establishing joint customs there was positive. RSS</p>

<p>The blockade has created a shortage of cooking oil, spices, sugar, lentils and other essentials in the Nepali markets as Dhangadhi and Attariya, which has spurred the exodus of shoppers to the Indian market during the festival time.</p>

<p>Apart from the shortage, the prices of essentials have gone up in the Nepali markets.</p>

<p>&quot;Ninety-nine percent of the customers in Gauriphanta are Nepalis,&quot; said Krishna Gupta, a local cloth merchant in Gauriphanta.</p>

<p>Gupta said although there is the border blockade, the age-old relations between the people of the two countries has not seen any let up. He added that the border blockade is a political issue between Kathmandu and New Delhi and it should be resolved by the governments of both countries.</p>

<p>&quot;However, the customers from faraway places in Nepal in the Far-western region who used to come to Gauriphanta for shopping have not been able to come here due to the difficulty with transport given the less number of vehicles plying owing to the acute fuel shortage in Nepal, &quot; he added.</p>

<p>The staffers at the Indian customs who often used to harass the Nepali shoppers while crossing the border into Nepal, however, have not resorted to this kind of treatment this time during the festival time, shared Kapil Bhatta of Kailali who was returning home after shopping in Gauriphanta.</p>

<p>Likewise, more than one thousand Nepalis daily go to another Indian market Bangaon for shopping these days, according to local traders. Bangaon is close to Gauriphanta. RSS</p>
