KATHMANDU, Sept 26: The year-on-year consumer price inflation (CPI) stood at 4.10 percent in mid-August 2024, down from 7.52 percent in the same period last year.

The global economic situation continues to recover slowly and unevenly from the shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent geopolitical tensions. Many central banks are still maintaining their tight monetary policy stance to manage the inflation. The interconnectedness of global markets needs policy harmonization to mitigate impact of global shocks on economic activity.
