🇳🇵 1.2 नेपाली अर्थतन्त्र (Nepalese Economy)
नेपाल एक Landlocked, Least Developed Country (LDC) हो जसको अर्थतन्त्र मुख्यतः कृषि, पर्यटन, विप्रेषण र जलविद्युतमा आधारित छ।
| क्षेत्र | GDP मा योगदान | विशेषता |
|---|---|---|
| कृषि (Agriculture) | ~24% | 65% जनसंख्याको आजीविका; Rice, Maize, Wheat, Tea, Coffee |
| उद्योग (Industry) | ~15% | Hydropower, Cement, Carpet, Pashmina |
| सेवा (Services) | ~61% | Tourism, Banking, Trade, IT, Telecom |
| विप्रेषण (Remittance) | ~25-27% of GDP | Gulf Countries, Malaysia, Korea — NRB tracking |
| पर्यटन | ~3-5% (pre-COVID) | Everest, Lumbini, Chitwan; US$/person |
| आर्थिक विशेषता | विवरण |
|---|---|
| अर्थतन्त्रको आकार | GDP ~US$ 42 Billion (2023) |
| प्रतिव्यक्ति आय | ~US$ 1,337 (GNI per capita) |
| गरिबी दर | ~17% below poverty line |
| HDI Rank | ~145/193 (UNDP 2023) |
| Literacy Rate | ~76% |
| External Debt | ~GDP को 35-40% |
| Trade Deficit | ~US$ 15 Billion (Import heavy economy) |
🌱 नेपालको आर्थिक चुनौती
- Landlocked: Transit cost बढी — Nepal को Import/Export India मार्फत
- Remittance Dependency: GDP को ~27% Remittance — Vulnerable to external shocks
- Youth Unemployment: Educated unemployment उच्च — Brain Drain
- Infrastructure Deficit: Roads, Power, Internet — Investment needed
- Political Instability: Policy consistency को कमी
- Climate Change: Agricultural productivity घट्दो
- Trade Imbalance: Import US$17B vs Export US$2B — Trade Deficit ~US$15B
💡 NRB को भूमिका: Monetary Policy मार्फत Inflation control, Credit Growth manage, BOP position सुधार, Remittance formal channel मा ल्याउन Incentive दिनु NRB को मुख्य काम।
