 There are many issues that need to be settled for Nepal to achieve 7 per cent growth. While some of the issues are political, others are economic. Political parties may have differences in ideologies but they should come together to address economic problems facing the country. The government should concentrate of building physical infrastructure to attract investment. As the economy is afloat only due to remittances, the government should give incentives to businesses that produce export-quality goods. Hydropower holds the key to Nepal’s future. If energy is generated through domestic and foreign investment, big strides can be taken in every field.
