  • Critical Development Constraints Nepal’S Pace of Growth and Poverty Reduction Has Lagged Behind That of Other South Asian Countries
    Nepal: Critical Development Constraints Nepal’s pace of growth and poverty reduction has lagged behind that of other South Asian countries. The country diagnostic study—Nepal: Critical Development Constraints—inquires into the causes for Nepal ’s slow growth vis-à-vis that of other South Asian economies by posing three questions: • What are the critical factors constraining investments, both domestic and foreign? • What should policy makers do to revive investment, particularly by the private sector? • How can the growth be made more inclusive? The inquiry and the results thereof aim to assist the work of government, development agencies, and the private sector to achieve a higher, more equitable growth path to benefit the people of Nepal. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries substantially reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments Nepal for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

  • India-Nepal,Kalapani,Nepal,Open Border
    APRIL 2020 ISSUE NO. 356 India and Nepal’s Kalapani Border Dispute: An Explainer SOHINI NAYAK ABSTRACT Neighbours India and Nepal, who share an open border, have not always had the most amicable of relations, oscillating from one extreme to the other. One of their long-standing disputes is over the border area of Kalapani. This discord has the potential to disrupt the other aspects of their ties, especially in the domains of the economy and cross-border security. Further, if the two countries fail to arrive at a resolution to the disagreement, it might give other stakeholders such as China an opportunity to interfere. This brief explains the Kalapani issue and in that context, explores what can be expected of the bilateral relationship in the future.

  • Removing Roadblocks to Trade
    CASE STUDY Removing Roadblocks to Trade Improving border roads and customs administration can help landlocked countries integrate into regional and global markets. Photo credit: ADB. Nepal has made it easier to move goods across borders by updating customs software, constructing a new inland clearance depot, and rehabilitating border access roads. Published: 23 February 2018 Overview The landlocked country of Nepal faces a challenging geography that not only limits domestic commerce, but also presents a big roadblock to international trade. Nepal’s semi-isolated economy used to be highly dependent on long and challenging transit routes for imports and exports. Trade facilities and transit logistics that could make freight handling and transfers faster and easier were inadequate and inefficient. Customs clearance procedures and other cross-border inspections were cumbersome and time-consuming. The passage of goods was further delayed by the traffic congestion at border crossings and the poor condition of many access roads. Nepal needed to remove these roadblocks by improving its transport system and trade facilities to better integrate into regional and global markets. With half of Nepal’s total border length shared with India, its largest trading partner, much of Nepal’s imports and exports, including those to and from its neighbors Bangladesh and Bhutan, pass through India. India is also Nepal’s top export destination, though its goods reach as far as Europe and North America. Asia, meanwhile, is the major source of Nepal’s imports, but much of this is entrepot trade moving through Singapore and Hong Kong. Nepal also imports goods from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United Arab Emirates.
