Call to make, implement policies to ensure country economy self-reliant

Kathmandu: Authorities concerned have stressed the need for making and implementing practical policies to make the country’s economy self-reliant.

In an interaction on ‘Nepal’s current economic situation: an overview’ organized by the Center for Professional Journalism Studies in Kathmandu on Friday, the economists blamed increasing imports for the declining foreign exchange reserves.

On the occasion, former Governor of the Nepal Rastra Bank Dipendra Bahadur Chhetri emphasized an increase in domestic production to evade a possible economic crisis.

Similarly, Vice Chair of the National Planning Commission, Dr. Bishwo Paudel informed about the government’s plan for increasing domestic production.

He said the government was ready to expand transmission lines to supply reliable energy for industries.
