Government Presents Economic Survey 2082/83 Highlighting External Sector Strength Amidst Internal Challenges

The government presented the Economic Survey 2082/83, highlighting the strength of Nepal's external sector with record remittances and foreign exchange reserves, though this has not translated to the domestic economy. Key challenges include excess liquidity in the banking system, low credit demand, disappointing capital expenditure, and economic growth falling below target. The survey also noted structural issues like a consumption-oriented economy, rising public debt, and a widening trade deficit, while acknowledging improvements in the capital market and construction sector.
