"The government has been urging the private sector to increase investment and which is also the desire of the private sector. However, the unexpected interest rates by the banks has terrorized the entrepreneurs while forcing them to stop the investment," the NCC said in the statement.
The NCC has stated that the recent review of the monetary policy was also not enough in addressing the issue of interest rates raised by the banks.
As the government is gearing up to hold the Nepal Investment Summit 2019, the NCC suggested the government to introduce new legislations and bring reforms in the existing laws to promote the foreign direct investment in the country. In its statement, the NCC stressed the need to regulate social media in Nepal.
