Exports: Still a beacon of hope for Nepalese

Economy Nepal has no alternative to developing an investment friendly environment and tapping the advantage of globalization that has eased the transfer of capital, technology, and know-how.

Mr. Liladhar's write up is relevant at least at this situation where loadsheding is being imposed without excuses.

Can any one imagine this 21st century world without electricity?

It is an irony, it is happening here in our motherland.

Who does really care,  my answer is Mr. Liladhar.

Again I must raise the same question regarding Arun III hydro project suppose to be funded by World Bank more than 10 thousand megawatt power estimated.  Who blocked it.  A most senior political leader of Nepal who claims to run the country with vivid dreams, Mr. Makune.  Does he have anything to say about this issue?

Interestingly, the author has provided an example of Bhutan's Hydel project. Bhutan has guts to incline towards India and not try to remain in equidistant with its other powerful neighbor China. This is simply not possible in Nepal. Hence, Nepal has to continue to be in mercy of its powerful Neighbors. Let us hope that some day China and India can get along and we will have 24 power service.

Sometime, I too get confused when I have 2 equally delicious apple one each in my both hands. I take decision and start with one. Unfortunately, neither India nor China are delicious and my stomach and mouth is too small to eat either of them.

MAKUNE are elite people. They are so lucky that even rebel called Maoist don't target them. Bear it. Oh! just learned that yet another Koirala won a election. Another problem for Nepal in horizon.

I like this article. LDCs have many problems, developed countries should increase their aid on grants. But as the development is mostly depend on countries policy and programmes, the leaders must be loyal. Export orientation can be facilitated by FDI but if there is no good governance and political stability in country, it seems quite hard.

The author in this artical rightly pointed the general consesus among politicians and other stakeholders for development is must.
I hope Nepal could do that in upcoming days.
