<span style="width: 100%;">Nepal's caretaker government has finally managed to bring out the annual budget by issuing an Ordinance after a delay of four months from the date the fiscal year strated. Giving continuity to most of the ongoing programs, Finance Minister Surendra Pandey, announced the budget of Rs 337.9 billion for the fiscal year 2010/11. It is an increment of 18 per cent compared to last year's budget of Rs 285.9 billion. <br />
<br />
The government has allocated 56.3 per cent of the total budget for recurrent expenditure, 38.3 per cent for capital expenditure and 5.4 per cent for principal repayment. The estimated spending is 30.4 per cent more than the revised estimate of expenditure of the previous year. In terms of the structure of the expenditure, recurrent expenditure has increased by 25.8 per cent and capital expenditure by 44.8 per cent.<br />
<br />
To meet the expenditures, the government aims to mobilize Rs 216.64 billion from revenue and Rs 65.35 billion from foreign grants. Deficit of Rs 55.91 billion is expected to be covered from foreign loans of Rs 22.23 billion and domestic borrowings of Rs. 33.68 billion. The amount of proposed foreign loans is 2.6 per cent of the estimated GDP.<br />
<br />
A review of the first quarter's revenue collection of the current fiscal year makes it challenging to meet the revenue target of the budget. It, therefore, seems an uphill task to meet the target of 4.5 per cent economic growth. Last year's budget had targeted 5.5 per cent economic growth but the actual achievement was 3.5 per cent. The new budget expects inflation to be around 8 per cent. It is higher than this year's monetary policy's target of 7.5 per cent. <br />

<span style="width: 100%;">Nepal's caretaker government has finally managed to bring out the annual budget by issuing an Ordinance after a delay of four months from the date the fiscal year strated. Giving continuity to most of the ongoing programs, Finance Minister Surendra Pandey, announced the budget of Rs 337.9 billion for the fiscal year 2010/11. It is an increment of 18 per cent compared to last year's budget of Rs 285.9 billion. <br />
<br />
The government has allocated 56.3 per cent of the total budget for recurrent expenditure, 38.3 per cent for capital expenditure and 5.4 per cent for principal repayment. The estimated spending is 30.4 per cent more than the revised estimate of expenditure of the previous year. In terms of the structure of the expenditure, recurrent expenditure has increased by 25.8 per cent and capital expenditure by 44.8 per cent.<br />
<br />
To meet the expenditures, the government aims to mobilize Rs 216.64 billion from revenue and Rs 65.35 billion from foreign grants. Deficit of Rs 55.91 billion is expected to be covered from foreign loans of Rs 22.23 billion and domestic borrowings of Rs. 33.68 billion. The amount of proposed foreign loans is 2.6 per cent of the estimated GDP.<br />
<br />
A review of the first quarter's revenue collection of the current fiscal year makes it challenging to meet the revenue target of the budget. It, therefore, seems an uphill task to meet the target of 4.5 per cent economic growth. Last year's budget had targeted 5.5 per cent economic growth but the actual achievement was 3.5 per cent. The new budget expects inflation to be around 8 per cent. It is higher than this year's monetary policy's target of 7.5 per cent. <br />

<span style="width: 100%;">Nepal's caretaker government has finally managed to bring out the annual budget by issuing an Ordinance after a delay of four months from the date the fiscal year strated. Giving continuity to most of the ongoing programs, Finance Minister Surendra Pandey, announced the budget of Rs 337.9 billion for the fiscal year 2010/11. It is an increment of 18 per cent compared to last year's budget of Rs 285.9 billion. <br />
<br />
The government has allocated 56.3 per cent of the total budget for recurrent expenditure, 38.3 per cent for capital expenditure and 5.4 per cent for principal repayment. The estimated spending is 30.4 per cent more than the revised estimate of expenditure of the previous year. In terms of the structure of the expenditure, recurrent expenditure has increased by 25.8 per cent and capital expenditure by 44.8 per cent.<br />
<br />
To meet the expenditures, the government aims to mobilize Rs 216.64 billion from revenue and Rs 65.35 billion from foreign grants. Deficit of Rs 55.91 billion is expected to be covered from foreign loans of Rs 22.23 billion and domestic borrowings of Rs. 33.68 billion. The amount of proposed foreign loans is 2.6 per cent of the estimated GDP.<br />
<br />
A review of the first quarter's revenue collection of the current fiscal year makes it challenging to meet the revenue target of the budget. It, therefore, seems an uphill task to meet the target of 4.5 per cent economic growth. Last year's budget had targeted 5.5 per cent economic growth but the actual achievement was 3.5 per cent. The new budget expects inflation to be around 8 per cent. It is higher than this year's monetary policy's target of 7.5 per cent. <br />

In terms of the structure of the expenditure, recurrent expenditure has increased by 25.8 per cent and capital expenditure by 44.8 per cent.<br />
<br />
To meet the expenditures, the government aims to mobilize Rs 216.64 billion from revenue and Rs 65.35 billion from foreign grants. Deficit of Rs 55.91 billion is expected to be covered from foreign loans of Rs 22.23 billion and domestic borrowings of Rs. 33.68 billion. The amount of proposed foreign loans is 2.6 per cent of the estimated GDP.<br />
<br />
A review of the first quarter's revenue collection of the current fiscal year makes it challenging to meet the revenue target of the budget. It, therefore, seems an uphill task to meet the target of 4.5 per cent economic growth. Last year's budget had targeted 5.5 per cent economic growth but the actual achievement was 3.5 per cent. The new budget expects inflation to be around 8 per cent. It is higher than this year's monetary policy's target of 7.5 per cent. <br />

<span style="width: 100%;">Nepal's caretaker government has finally managed to bring out the annual budget by issuing an Ordinance after a delay of four months from the date the fiscal year strated.
