	April 18: Experts have pointed out that Nepal&rsquo;s concern of avoiding debt-trap has prevented the country from developing concrete plans for China&rsquo;s Belt and Road Initiative.</p>
<p>
	Speaking at a roundtable discussion on the topic organised by SAWTEE in Kathmandu on April 17, &nbsp;Dr Shankar Prasad Sharma, former vice chairman of the National Planning Commission (NPC), drew the attention of one and all regarding the ambiguities present in the project financing modality for the projects to be included in the BRI.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;Whether the financial support will be in the form of loan or grant? If it is loan then what would be the interest rate and what would be the terms and period?&rdquo; queried Dr Sharma.</p>
<p>
	Since the BRI is an evolving process, onus is on Nepal to negotiate terms that are beneficial to us, he reportedly said.</p>
<p>
	SAWTEE said in a statement that the event was organized to add to the discourse on how to align Nepal&rsquo;s development plans with the China&rsquo;s multi-regional connectivity initiative&mdash;the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which is basically an infrastructure investment program creating a web of transportation system including roads, railways, telecommunications, energy pipelines, and ports across regions.</p>
<p>
	Gyan Chandra Acharya, former under-secretary general of the United Nations and head of SAWTEE-CSD, pointed out that it is evident that Nepal till date does not have a clear vision on how best to proceed with the BRI, hence, discussions like these could be instrumental in shaping the future courses.</p>
<p>
	Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE), pointed out that much of the BRI discourse is only dominated by infrastructure issues, but there should also be focus on being integrated to Chinese value chain through investment.</p>
<p>
	Dr Surya Raj Acharya, infrastructure expert, cautioned that Nepal is stuck in perpetual policy-trap that is preventing discourse on the BRI modality from gaining momentum.</p>
<p>
	Dr Mahesh Kumar Maskey, former Nepalese ambassador to China, said that instead of vying for viable projects, such as cross-border Special Economic Zones, Nepal is more focused on dubious projects such as railways, which has become counterproductive.</p>
<p>
	The participants present in the discussion program had a consensus view that Nepal should have a clear agenda for its national interest so as not to be swayed by peripheral issues. The round table brought together a cross-section of stakeholders, including policy makers, diplomats, scholars, and the private-sector.</p>

<p>
	The OAG report has suggested the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) to regulate the telecom companies charging high rate to the consumers. The OAG compared the operating profit of Nepali telecom companies with telecommunication service providers in the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Malaysia, India, Japan, among others, calling for a review in the service charge of the telecommunication operators in the country.</p>
<p>
	The report shows Nepali telecommunication providers have high operating profit, and are charging hefty service charge to the consumers. According to the OAG, the operating profit of telecommunication providers in foreign countries stands at 24-37 percent of the total income, while the profit&nbsp;of two telecommunication giants in Nepal is up to 62 percent.</p>
<p>
	The OAG also concluded that the telecommunications regulatory body has not regulated the service charges imposed by the telecom companies in Nepal.</p>

	April 16: Despite the central bank&rsquo;s efforts to minimize the sale of automobiles, banks and financial institutions providing auto loans has been increasing. This is against the directive of the central bank, which had issued the order on November 6 to make 50 percent downpayment on purchase of vehicles through BFIs. But in the four months since the central bank issued such directive, BFIs have released Rs 8.17 billion for the purchase of vehicles.</p>
<p>
	Auto loans have increased by 4.42 percent in the second quarter of the current fiscal year as compared to the first quarter.</p>
<p>
	The total amount of auto loans was Rs 176 billion as of the end of the first quarter of the current FY which rose to Rs 184 billion in the next four months, according to Nepal Rastra Bank.</p>
<p>
	Earlier, the BFIs were allowed to fund up to 65 percent of the auto loan but the central bank brought down the ceiling to 50 percent five months ago.</p>
<p>
	The central bank does not consider automobiles as productive sector while the BFI have been funding in this sector arguing that automobiles will help in increasing productivity.</p>

	April 18: The government has allocated Rs 100 million for the Visit Nepal Year 2020. A cabinet meeting last Thursday decided to allocate the amount to the main organising committee of the Visit Nepal Year 2020.</p>
<p>
	The state-sponsored campaign had lost its momentum after the death of Tourism Minister Rabindra Adhikari in a helicopter crash.</p>
<p>
	The cabinet meeting also decided to give the authority to the national programme coordinator to spend 10 percent of the budget and additional 15 percent to the programme implementation sub-committee as per the need, according to coordinator Suraj Vaidhya.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;There had been some delays due to procedural hassles. Now the budget and work procedure has got approval and we expect to expedite the preparation for the Visit Nepal Year 2020,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>
	Member Secretary of the Visit Nepal Year 2020 Secretariat Deepak Raj Joshi, who is also the CEO of Nepal Tourism Board, said that the campaign officially kicked off from Pokhara on the Nepali New Year and they will not carry out other promotional events.</p>

	April 18: Experts have pointed out that Nepal&rsquo;s concern of avoiding debt-trap has prevented the country from developing concrete plans for China&rsquo;s Belt and Road Initiative.</p>
<p>
	Speaking at a roundtable discussion on the topic organised by SAWTEE in Kathmandu on April 17, &nbsp;Dr Shankar Prasad Sharma, former vice chairman of the National Planning Commission (NPC), drew the attention of one and all regarding the ambiguities present in the project financing modality for the projects to be included in the BRI.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;Whether the financial support will be in the form of loan or grant? If it is loan then what would be the interest rate and what would be the terms and period?&rdquo; queried Dr Sharma.</p>
<p>
	Since the BRI is an evolving process, onus is on Nepal to negotiate terms that are beneficial to us, he reportedly said.</p>
<p>
	SAWTEE said in a statement that the event was organized to add to the discourse on how to align Nepal&rsquo;s development plans with the China&rsquo;s multi-regional connectivity initiative&mdash;the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which is basically an infrastructure investment program creating a web of transportation system including roads, railways, telecommunications, energy pipelines, and ports across regions.</p>
<p>
	Gyan Chandra Acharya, former under-secretary general of the United Nations and head of SAWTEE-CSD, pointed out that it is evident that Nepal till date does not have a clear vision on how best to proceed with the BRI, hence, discussions like these could be instrumental in shaping the future courses.</p>
<p>
	Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE), pointed out that much of the BRI discourse is only dominated by infrastructure issues, but there should also be focus on being integrated to Chinese value chain through investment.</p>
<p>
	Dr Surya Raj Acharya, infrastructure expert, cautioned that Nepal is stuck in perpetual policy-trap that is preventing discourse on the BRI modality from gaining momentum.</p>
<p>
	Dr Mahesh Kumar Maskey, former Nepalese ambassador to China, said that instead of vying for viable projects, such as cross-border Special Economic Zones, Nepal is more focused on dubious projects such as railways, which has become counterproductive.</p>
<p>
	The participants present in the discussion program had a consensus view that Nepal should have a clear agenda for its national interest so as not to be swayed by peripheral issues. The round table brought together a cross-section of stakeholders, including policy makers, diplomats, scholars, and the private-sector.</p>

<p>
	According to the Large Taxpayers&rsquo; Office, Ncell still owes the government Rs 39.6 billion in CGT. The LTO demanded the company to clear the tax in line with the Supreme Court verdict on April 9, which ordered the government and the concerned authorities to determine the amount Ncell is liable to pay to the government within three months.</p>
<p>
	According to the government authorities, Ncell was supposed pay a total amount of Rs 60.71 billion as CGT for the sale of 80 percent of Ncell shares by TeliaSonera to Axiata Behard some three years ago. The SC ruled that the transaction had resulted in capital gains of Rs 143.65 billion out of which Rs 60.71 billion was determined as the CGT. Since Ncell has already submitted Rs 21.54 billion to the government, it now owes Rs 39.6 billion, according to the LTO.</p>
<p>
	The LTO said that Ncell has already received its letter on Tuesday.</p>

<p>
	The OAG report has suggested the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) to regulate the telecom companies charging high rate to the consumers. The OAG compared the operating profit of Nepali telecom companies with telecommunication service providers in the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Malaysia, India, Japan, among others, calling for a review in the service charge of the telecommunication operators in the country.</p>
<p>
	The report shows Nepali telecommunication providers have high operating profit, and are charging hefty service charge to the consumers. According to the OAG, the operating profit of telecommunication providers in foreign countries stands at 24-37 percent of the total income, while the profit&nbsp;of two telecommunication giants in Nepal is up to 62 percent.</p>
<p>
	The OAG also concluded that the telecommunications regulatory body has not regulated the service charges imposed by the telecom companies in Nepal.</p>

	The report shows that a telecom company in Germany has operational profit of 24 percent. Likewise, a telecom company in India has operational profit of 36.40 percent.</p>

	April 16: Despite the central bank&rsquo;s efforts to minimize the sale of automobiles, banks and financial institutions providing auto loans has been increasing. This is against the directive of the central bank, which had issued the order on November 6 to make 50 percent downpayment on purchase of vehicles through BFIs. But in the four months since the central bank issued such directive, BFIs have released Rs 8.17 billion for the purchase of vehicles.</p>

	Auto loans have increased by 4.42 percent in the second quarter of the current fiscal year as compared to the first quarter.</p>
<p>
	The total amount of auto loans was Rs 176 billion as of the end of the first quarter of the current FY which rose to Rs 184 billion in the next four months, according to Nepal Rastra Bank.</p>
<p>
	Earlier, the BFIs were allowed to fund up to 65 percent of the auto loan but the central bank brought down the ceiling to 50 percent five months ago.</p>
<p>
	The central bank does not consider automobiles as productive sector while the BFI have been funding in this sector arguing that automobiles will help in increasing productivity.</p>

	April 18: Experts have pointed out that Nepal&rsquo;s concern of avoiding debt-trap has prevented the country from developing concrete plans for China&rsquo;s Belt and Road Initiative.</p>
<p>
	Speaking at a roundtable discussion on the topic organised by SAWTEE in Kathmandu on April 17, &nbsp;Dr Shankar Prasad Sharma, former vice chairman of the National Planning Commission (NPC), drew the attention of one and all regarding the ambiguities present in the project financing modality for the projects to be included in the BRI.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;Whether the financial support will be in the form of loan or grant? If it is loan then what would be the interest rate and what would be the terms and period?&rdquo; queried Dr Sharma.</p>
<p>
	Since the BRI is an evolving process, onus is on Nepal to negotiate terms that are beneficial to us, he reportedly said.</p>
<p>
	SAWTEE said in a statement that the event was organized to add to the discourse on how to align Nepal&rsquo;s development plans with the China&rsquo;s multi-regional connectivity initiative&mdash;the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which is basically an infrastructure investment program creating a web of transportation system including roads, railways, telecommunications, energy pipelines, and ports across regions.</p>
<p>
	Gyan Chandra Acharya, former under-secretary general of the United Nations and head of SAWTEE-CSD, pointed out that it is evident that Nepal till date does not have a clear vision on how best to proceed with the BRI, hence, discussions like these could be instrumental in shaping the future courses.</p>
<p>
	Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE), pointed out that much of the BRI discourse is only dominated by infrastructure issues, but there should also be focus on being integrated to Chinese value chain through investment.</p>
<p>
	Dr Surya Raj Acharya, infrastructure expert, cautioned that Nepal is stuck in perpetual policy-trap that is preventing discourse on the BRI modality from gaining momentum.</p>
<p>
	Dr Mahesh Kumar Maskey, former Nepalese ambassador to China, said that instead of vying for viable projects, such as cross-border Special Economic Zones, Nepal is more focused on dubious projects such as railways, which has become counterproductive.</p>
<p>
	The participants present in the discussion program had a consensus view that Nepal should have a clear agenda for its national interest so as not to be swayed by peripheral issues. The round table brought together a cross-section of stakeholders, including policy makers, diplomats, scholars, and the private-sector.</p>

	April 17: The Large Taxpayers&rsquo; Office (LTO) has asked telecommunication giant Ncell to clear its dues within a week. The taxpayers&rsquo; office made such demand on Tuesday (April 16) after determining the capital gains tax (CGT) the telecommunication company is liable to pay the government.</p>
<p>
	According to the Large Taxpayers&rsquo; Office, Ncell still owes the government Rs 39.6 billion in CGT. The LTO demanded the company to clear the tax in line with the Supreme Court verdict on April 9, which ordered the government and the concerned authorities to determine the amount Ncell is liable to pay to the government within three months.</p>
<p>
	According to the government authorities, Ncell was supposed pay a total amount of Rs 60.71 billion as CGT for the sale of 80 percent of Ncell shares by TeliaSonera to Axiata Behard some three years ago. The SC ruled that the transaction had resulted in capital gains of Rs 143.65 billion out of which Rs 60.71 billion was determined as the CGT. Since Ncell has already submitted Rs 21.54 billion to the government, it now owes Rs 39.6 billion, according to the LTO.</p>
<p>
	The LTO said that Ncell has already received its letter on Tuesday.</p>

	The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has arrested three persons involved in the Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project in Parsa&rsquo;s vegetable zone.</p>
<p>
	The anti-graft body has taken into custody Birendra Sinha, former chief of Agriculture Development Office, Parsa and two other officials of the zone &nbsp;operation committee.</p>
<p>
	Sinha, accountant Satya Narayan Sahani and the committee chair Rameshwar Kushwa who had arrived at the CIAA headquarters in Kathmandu for recording their statements were arrested and sent into custody for further interrogation.</p>
<p>
	Sinha has been accused of corruption while constructing a building worth Rs 4.5 million for the project. Other officials and office bearers of the project have gone incommunicado after the arrests of the three officials. CIAA has written a letter to Parsa Police to arrest them but the police have turned a deaf ear to the request. A source at the anti-graft body said that police are reluctant to arrest them due to their political connection.</p>

	April 15: The cost of telecommunications services in Nepal is double the rate in other countries, which is a violation of the Consumer Protection Act, 2018, according to the 56<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;annual report of the Office of the Auditor General (OAG).</p>
<p>
	The OAG report has suggested the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) to regulate the telecom companies charging high rate to the consumers. The OAG compared the operating profit of Nepali telecom companies with telecommunication service providers in the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Malaysia, India, Japan, among others, calling for a review in the service charge of the telecommunication operators in the country.</p>
<p>
	The report shows Nepali telecommunication providers have high operating profit, and are charging hefty service charge to the consumers. According to the OAG, the operating profit of telecommunication providers in foreign countries stands at 24-37 percent of the total income, while the profit&nbsp;of two telecommunication giants in Nepal is up to 62 percent.</p>
<p>
	The OAG also concluded that the telecommunications regulatory body has not regulated the service charges imposed by the telecom companies in Nepal.</p>
<p>
	The report shows that a telecom company in Germany has operational profit of 24 percent. Likewise, a telecom company in India has operational profit of 36.40 percent.</p>

	April 16: Despite the central bank&rsquo;s efforts to minimize the sale of automobiles, banks and financial institutions providing auto loans has been increasing. This is against the directive of the central bank, which had issued the order on November 6 to make 50 percent downpayment on purchase of vehicles through BFIs. But in the four months since the central bank issued such directive, BFIs have released Rs 8.17 billion for the purchase of vehicles.</p>
<p>
	Auto loans have increased by 4.42 percent in the second quarter of the current fiscal year as compared to the first quarter.</p>
<p>
	The total amount of auto loans was Rs 176 billion as of the end of the first quarter of the current FY which rose to Rs 184 billion in the next four months, according to Nepal Rastra Bank.</p>
<p>
	Earlier, the BFIs were allowed to fund up to 65 percent of the auto loan but the central bank brought down the ceiling to 50 percent five months ago.</p>
<p>
	The central bank does not consider automobiles as productive sector while the BFI have been funding in this sector arguing that automobiles will help in increasing productivity.</p>
<p>
	Meanwhile, BFIs can fund up to 80 percent of the total cost of electric vehicles for personal use.</p>

	April 18: Experts have pointed out that Nepal&rsquo;s concern of avoiding debt-trap has prevented the country from developing concrete plans for China&rsquo;s Belt and Road Initiative.</p>
<p>
	Speaking at a roundtable discussion on the topic organised by SAWTEE in Kathmandu on April 17, &nbsp;Dr Shankar Prasad Sharma, former vice chairman of the National Planning Commission (NPC), drew the attention of one and all regarding the ambiguities present in the project financing modality for the projects to be included in the BRI.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;Whether the financial support will be in the form of loan or grant? If it is loan then what would be the interest rate and what would be the terms and period?&rdquo; queried Dr Sharma.</p>
<p>
	Since the BRI is an evolving process, onus is on Nepal to negotiate terms that are beneficial to us, he reportedly said.</p>
<p>
	SAWTEE said in a statement that the event was organized to add to the discourse on how to align Nepal&rsquo;s development plans with the China&rsquo;s multi-regional connectivity initiative&mdash;the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which is basically an infrastructure investment program creating a web of transportation system including roads, railways, telecommunications, energy pipelines, and ports across regions.</p>
<p>
	Gyan Chandra Acharya, former under-secretary general of the United Nations and head of SAWTEE-CSD, pointed out that it is evident that Nepal till date does not have a clear vision on how best to proceed with the BRI, hence, discussions like these could be instrumental in shaping the future courses.</p>
<p>
	Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE), pointed out that much of the BRI discourse is only dominated by infrastructure issues, but there should also be focus on being integrated to Chinese value chain through investment.</p>
<p>
	Dr Surya Raj Acharya, infrastructure expert, cautioned that Nepal is stuck in perpetual policy-trap that is preventing discourse on the BRI modality from gaining momentum.</p>
<p>
	Dr Mahesh Kumar Maskey, former Nepalese ambassador to China, said that instead of vying for viable projects, such as cross-border Special Economic Zones, Nepal is more focused on dubious projects such as railways, which has become counterproductive.</p>
<p>
	The participants present in the discussion program had a consensus view that Nepal should have a clear agenda for its national interest so as not to be swayed by peripheral issues. The round table brought together a cross-section of stakeholders, including policy makers, diplomats, scholars, and the private-sector.</p>

The SC ruled that the transaction had resulted in capital gains of Rs 143.65 billion out of which Rs 60.71 billion was determined as the CGT.

<p>
	The OAG report has suggested the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) to regulate the telecom companies charging high rate to the consumers. The OAG compared the operating profit of Nepali telecom companies with telecommunication service providers in the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Malaysia, India, Japan, among others, calling for a review in the service charge of the telecommunication operators in the country.</p>
<p>
	The report shows Nepali telecommunication providers have high operating profit, and are charging hefty service charge to the consumers. According to the OAG, the operating profit of telecommunication providers in foreign countries stands at 24-37 percent of the total income, while the profit&nbsp;of two telecommunication giants in Nepal is up to 62 percent.</p>
<p>
	The OAG also concluded that the telecommunications regulatory body has not regulated the service charges imposed by the telecom companies in Nepal.</p>

But in the four months since the central bank issued such directive, BFIs have released Rs 8.17 billion for the purchase of vehicles.</p>

	Earlier, the BFIs were allowed to fund up to 65 percent of the auto loan but the central bank brought down the ceiling to 50 percent five months ago.</p>

	The central bank does not consider automobiles as productive sector while the BFI have been funding in this sector arguing that automobiles will help in increasing productivity.</p>
