Around, 60% of 30 million populations are working abroad and contribution of remittance inflow stands 24% of total GDP in FY 2078/79.
Currently, the world is facing Russia – Ukrain war since 2022. Nepal is also one of the victim country and facing price rise of import products like petroleum, medicines and more. Nepal is import based country and 80% of demand is fulfilled by import. Hence, Nepal imports large quantity of goods from India, china and foreign countries.
