KATHMANDU, Aug 24: The economic slowdown seen over the past two fiscal years has persisted into mid-July of the current Fiscal Year 2024/25. In the import-dependent Nepali economy, both imports and exports in Shrawan (mid-July to mid-August) have decreased compared to the previous year.

KATHMANDU, July 24: Customs revenue contributed around 40 percent of the total revenue collection by the government in the last Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24.

KATHMANDU, Nov 19: The government collected only half of the targeted revenue from foreign trade in the past one month, mainly due to the fall in imports along with a surge in smuggling through the open border with India.
