अर्थतन्त्र र राजनीतिक हिसाबले महत्वपुर्ण परिवेश र ठूला वाचा, महँगी, ऋण, खर्च र विश्वासको संकटकाबीच आउँदो बजेट सार्वजनिक हुने तयारी भइरहेको छ।

यसबीच विगत केही समयदेखि अर्थतन्त्रका धेरैजसो सूचकहरू सकारात्मक देखिएका छन्। हाल कुल विदेशी विनिमय सञ्चिति ३ हजार ४९४ अर्ब ७३ करोड रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ, जसले आगामी १८.४ महिनासम्म वस्तु तथा सेवाको आयात धान्न सक्ने देखिन्छ। विप्रेषण आप्रवाह नेपाली रुपैयाँमा ३९.१ प्रतिशतले वृद्धि भएको छ भने चालु आर्थिक वर्षको चैत महिनामा मात्र विप्रेषण आप्रवाह २०९ अर्ब ७५ करोड रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ।

Nepal’s gold jewellery sector is facing increasing pressure from changing import quotas, higher taxes, and ongoing risks of smuggling.

Gold has long been part of our culture and economy, but the industry that depends on it is struggling with unstable import policies, uneven distribution, and rising costs. Frequent shifts in quotas and duties have created uncertainty in supply and led to sharp price fluctuations, making business planning difficult for jewellers, writes Mukesh Jodhani, a gold jeweller with over a decade of experience in the industry.

If Nepal is serious about building a transparent and globally competitive gold market, it needs consistent import rules, fair distribution of raw gold, and a predictable tax system.

Without timely reforms, the ongoing cycle of shortages, volatility, and informal trade will continue to weaken a sector that sustains thousands of jobs and makes a meaningful contribution to the national economy, Jodhani further argues.

For generations, gold jewellery has been more than a business in Nepal. It is tied to our culture, weddings, festivals, savings, and family traditions. Every necklace, ring, or bangle sold in a jewellery shop carries emotion, trust, and craftsmanship built...

के हो बजेट? कसरी बन्छ बजेट? | नेपालको बजेट निर्माण प्रक्रिया बुझौं

Nepal’s problem is not how much money is allocated, but how little is effectively spent.

In this op-ed, Shalav Rana argues that scarcity of budget is not the core of Nepal’s development bottleneck, but a profound deficit in state capacity and ex*****on productivity.

Shifting our national conversation from how the budget is sliced to how efficiently it is executed will build the institutional trust Nepal's public sector desperately needs, Rana emphasises, recommending three structural reforms.

Read his recommendations here:

As the Ministry of Finance finalises the national budget, the annual ritual of public debate has grown predictably loud. Sectoral advocates demand larger slices of the fiscal pie for education and health, while the private sector pleads for tax relief....
