KATHMANDU, March 12: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that the government is focused on improving the indicators of the economy.

A drastic increase in the import of goods is the primary reason why Nepal’s foreign reserves have been depleting. In the first eight months of FY 21/22, Nepal’s import bill increased by USD 2.82 billion or 36.1%, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
