KATHMANDU, April 10: CPN-UML Vice Chairman and former finance minister Bishnu Poudel has said that the country’s economy is at an imminent risk. 

Speaking at a press conference organized by the UML’s Publicity Department, former finance minister Poudel called on the political parties not to interfere in the economy unnecessarily.

On the occasion, Poudel said that no one can stop the country from facing Sri Lanka’s fate if a meaningful intervention is not made on time. He said, "The economic situation of the country is at risk. If we do not intervene meaningfully, no one can stop the country from becoming Sri Lanka if the problems that are seen are not solved on time."

Similarly, he also claimed that the CPN-UML had left the government with a strong economy while the current government had made the economic situation worse in the last nine months.

Stating that the Minister or the Prime Minister will not improve the deteriorating economic situation of the country just by making claims to do that, Poudel said that the government should take appropriate measures to tackle the current problems of the economy.
