Nepal has the potential to achieve and sustain higher growth rate over a long period of time if these challenges are addressed.”</div> <div> </div> <div> ADB said in a statement that the agriculture sector will likely grow from 2.8 percent in FY 2018 to 4.5 percent in FY 2019, owing to a good monsoon that is expected to boost paddy production to 5.5 million tons, a rise of 8.4 percent from the previous year. The industry sector is expected to expand by 7.1 percent in FY 2019 buoyed by improved electricity supply and efforts to improve the investment climate.

The budget as of mid-January 2019 is in surplus by Rs 173.3 billion owing to strong revenue growth and a marginal slowdown in recurrent expenses.

This could again lead to a spending spree in the last month of the fiscal year, undermining the quality of capital projects, says the update.</div> <div> </div> <div> With rising trade and current account deficit, Nepal increasingly faces the risk of external sector instability. Data till mid-February 2019 show that trade deficit has surpassed net invisible earnings, widening the current account deficit to $1.5 billion, marginally up from a deficit of $1.4 billion in the previous year. The current account deficit is projected to widen further to 9.3 percent of the gross domestic product in FY 2019, up from 8.2 percent a year earlier on increased imports of capital and consumer goods and services, notwithstanding a healthy growth of remittances and stable oil prices, says the update.</div> <div> </div> <div> “Given the growing importance of the services sector in Nepal’s economy, coherent actions are needed to bridge trade deficit via export diversification in the services sector,” said ADB Economist for Nepal Manbar S Khadka. “A host of issues pertaining to infrastructural, institutional, and procedural barriers need to be addressed to promote the services sector.”</div> <div> </div> <div> ADB said it is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.

As the law currently stands, it remains unclear what constitutes “hunger” and “starvation”.</p> <p> The government of Nepal must also take meaningful steps to prohibit public authorities from interfering with people’s efforts to feed themselves. This means halting the eviction of people from their lands and allowing people to fish and collect their own from forests. The law, in its current form, provides no protection to the people who do so, added the statement.</p> <p> Amnesty International also recommended that the law be specific about how the government will address the threat of starvation, including by providing immediate food and nutritional support. There must be inquiries into any deaths resulting from starvation.</p> <p> Amnesty International also called for marginalized communities, such as Dalits and land-dependent indigenous people including Tharu to be granted access to cultivable land.</p> <p> “The authorities have an obligation to prevent malnutrition in all its forms.

The industry sector is expected to expand by 7.1 percent in FY 2019 buoyed by improved electricity supply and efforts to improve the investment climate.

The budget as of mid-January 2019 is in surplus by Rs 173.3 billion owing to strong revenue growth and a marginal slowdown in recurrent expenses.

Data till mid-February 2019 show that trade deficit has surpassed net invisible earnings, widening the current account deficit to $1.5 billion, marginally up from a deficit of $1.4 billion in the previous year. The current account deficit is projected to widen further to 9.3 percent of the gross domestic product in FY 2019, up from 8.2 percent a year earlier on increased imports of capital and consumer goods and services, notwithstanding a healthy growth of remittances and stable oil prices, says the update.</div> <div> </div> <div> “Given the growing importance of the services sector in Nepal’s economy, coherent actions are needed to bridge trade deficit via export diversification in the services sector,” said ADB Economist for Nepal Manbar S Khadka. “A host of issues pertaining to infrastructural, institutional, and procedural barriers need to be addressed to promote the services sector.”</div> <div> </div> <div> ADB said it is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.

This means halting the eviction of people from their lands and allowing people to fish and collect their own from forests. The law, in its current form, provides no protection to the people who do so, added the statement.</p> <p> Amnesty International also recommended that the law be specific about how the government will address the threat of starvation, including by providing immediate food and nutritional support. There must be inquiries into any deaths resulting from starvation.</p> <p> Amnesty International also called for marginalized communities, such as Dalits and land-dependent indigenous people including Tharu to be granted access to cultivable land.</p> <p> “The authorities have an obligation to prevent malnutrition in all its forms.

The industry sector is expected to expand by 7.1 percent in FY 2019 buoyed by improved electricity supply and efforts to improve the investment climate.

The budget as of mid-January 2019 is in surplus by Rs 173.3 billion owing to strong revenue growth and a marginal slowdown in recurrent expenses.

Data till mid-February 2019 show that trade deficit has surpassed net invisible earnings, widening the current account deficit to $1.5 billion, marginally up from a deficit of $1.4 billion in the previous year. The current account deficit is projected to widen further to 9.3 percent of the gross domestic product in FY 2019, up from 8.2 percent a year earlier on increased imports of capital and consumer goods and services, notwithstanding a healthy growth of remittances and stable oil prices, says the update.</div> <div> </div> <div> “Given the growing importance of the services sector in Nepal’s economy, coherent actions are needed to bridge trade deficit via export diversification in the services sector,” said ADB Economist for Nepal Manbar S Khadka. “A host of issues pertaining to infrastructural, institutional, and procedural barriers need to be addressed to promote the services sector.”</div> <div> </div> <div> ADB said it is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.

This means halting the eviction of people from their lands and allowing people to fish and collect their own from forests. The law, in its current form, provides no protection to the people who do so, added the statement.</p> <p> Amnesty International also recommended that the law be specific about how the government will address the threat of starvation, including by providing immediate food and nutritional support. There must be inquiries into any deaths resulting from starvation.</p> <p> Amnesty International also called for marginalized communities, such as Dalits and land-dependent indigenous people including Tharu to be granted access to cultivable land.</p> <p> “The authorities have an obligation to prevent malnutrition in all its forms.

The industry sector is expected to expand by 7.1 percent in FY 2019 buoyed by improved electricity supply and efforts to improve the investment climate.

The budget as of mid-January 2019 is in surplus by Rs 173.3 billion owing to strong revenue growth and a marginal slowdown in recurrent expenses.

Data till mid-February 2019 show that trade deficit has surpassed net invisible earnings, widening the current account deficit to $1.5 billion, marginally up from a deficit of $1.4 billion in the previous year. The current account deficit is projected to widen further to 9.3 percent of the gross domestic product in FY 2019, up from 8.2 percent a year earlier on increased imports of capital and consumer goods and services, notwithstanding a healthy growth of remittances and stable oil prices, says the update.</div> <div> </div> <div> “Given the growing importance of the services sector in Nepal’s economy, coherent actions are needed to bridge trade deficit via export diversification in the services sector,” said ADB Economist for Nepal Manbar S Khadka. “A host of issues pertaining to infrastructural, institutional, and procedural barriers need to be addressed to promote the services sector.”</div> <div> </div> <div> ADB said it is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.

This means halting the eviction of people from their lands and allowing people to fish and collect their own from forests. The law, in its current form, provides no protection to the people who do so, added the statement.</p> <p> Amnesty International also recommended that the law be specific about how the government will address the threat of starvation, including by providing immediate food and nutritional support. There must be inquiries into any deaths resulting from starvation.</p> <p> Amnesty International also called for marginalized communities, such as Dalits and land-dependent indigenous people including Tharu to be granted access to cultivable land.</p> <p> “The authorities have an obligation to prevent malnutrition in all its forms.

Bhulahi Bharwaliya settlement, which was worst-hit by Sunday evening’s storm, is barely 500 metres south of the highway. In the aftermath of the storm – arguably the first-of-its-kind catastrophe reported in Nepal – that left 29 people dead, the affected areas has seen a surge in the number of visits by vehicles carrying ministers with security escorts.</p> <p> Looking at the crowd of the VVIPs and the supporters, it seems like there is some kind of festival going on here. Instead of healing the wounds of the survivors, this crowd has rubbed salt on their wounds.</p> <p> Bharwaliya and Purainiya of Feta Rural Municipality were the worst affected by the storm in terms of human casualties and infrastructure. Out of the 500 injured, majority are from this area. The injured are struggling for treatment.</p> <p> Raj Kumar of Bharwalia expects relief materials whenever he sees some stranger. They have much more expectations from the VVIPs but they only give assurance instead of relief materials.</p> <p> “We heard in radio that the government has announced relief. But the reality is that we have been surviving on a fistful of beaten rice since the last three days under the open sky,” says Raj Kumar.</p> <p> Following the devastation, a large number of VVIPs have visited the incident site the very next day. Prime Minister KP Oli, Deputy PM Upendra Yadav, Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa all visited the area for inspection.
