  • Unctad-Icc Investment Guide to Nepal
    AN INVESTMENT GUIDE TO NEPAL Opportunities and conditions January 2003 UNITED NATIONS New York and Geneva, 2003 Three good reasons to invest in Nepal • Access to markets A smallish country of 24 million people, Nepal is situated between what are potentially the two largest markets in the world: China and India. A trade treaty with India guarantees duty-free access to most Nepali manufactures. While nothing similar exists with China, there are straws in the wind: an agreement to make the Chinese yuan convertible in Nepal and a memorandum of understanding making Nepal the first South Asian country to receive “approved destination” status from China. As a least developed country, Nepal is also eligible for the benefits of the Everything-But-Arms initiative of the European Union, offering its products preferential access to the European market. • Natural assets Tourism is the biggest business in the world and there is hardly a country that does not seek either tourists or investment in tourism. Uniquely, Nepal offers some of the most spectacular tourist attrac- tions in the world: 8 of the world’s 10 highest mountain peaks, including the top of the world, Mount Everest; an extraordinary range of climatic conditions ranging from the sub-arctic to the trop- ical and a corresponding range of flora and fauna, from the snow leopard to the rhino; a rich cultur- al heritage, from the birthplace of the Buddha through medieval Hindu temples to 60 spoken languages from several language families. Nepal also offers enormous potential for hydropower and a remarkable variety of agricultural products in the five climatic zones packed into a north–south breadth of 150–250 kilometres.
