Foreign investors throng Nepal


With a gradual improvement in the political climate in the last one year and conclusion of peace process in sight, many foreign investors are in a rush to reach out to Nepal.
"As the end of the road is on sight, we can expect more investors thronging to the country as it offers vast opportunities," said Investment Board chief executive Radhesh Pant, who is busy meeting the delegates and explaining them what the country can offer.
With the establishment of Investment Board, the country is expected to attract more potential investors not only in the hydropower sector — that is one of the most lucrative sectors for the investors — but also in service sector that has been witnessing growth in recent years, he said.
According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, hotels and restaurant sector is expected to grow by 8.28 percentage points in the current fiscal year compared to the last fiscal year due to sustained increase in the flow of tourists in the last fiscal year. The tourist inflow has seen sustained growth this fiscal year too.
Though encouraged, the private sector, has been suggesting the government to offer incentives to make Nepal more competitive investment destination.
"The government must offer incentives to attract more foreign investments," said Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) president Suraj Vaidya.
The government should ease policy bottlenecks and offer incentives to compete with other investment attracting countries and even with the Indian states that have been offering attractive packages to the investors, he said, adding that the private sector is confident that the government will announce competitive incentives in the budget for the next fiscal year 2012-13 that is also Nepal Investment Year.
"More investment will create more employment opportunities that would help government achieve its target of sustainable growth that could reduce social unrest in the future," he added.
The country has witnessed inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) worth Rs 5.61 billion in the first seven months of the current fiscal year, according to the central bank. "In the same period in the last fiscal year, it stood at Rs 4.84 billion."
Similarly, the Department of Industry had approved 209 joint venture projects with a foreign direct investment commitment of Rs 10.05 billion in the fiscal year 2010-11. A fiscal year ago, the foreign direct investment stood at Rs 9.1 billion. "The FDI recorded 10.4 per cent more with 38 more joint ventures than in the fiscal year 2009-10."
"Out of 209 registered projects in the last fiscal year, some 88 were service-related, 47 tourism, 39 manufacturing, 23 agriculture, six energy, five mines and one construction-related projects," the data revealed, adding that China stood first with 69 projects followed by India with 38 and South Korea with 18 projects that were expected to generate employment opportunities for some 10,887 people.

One thing I want to touch upon is that weightloss system fast may be accomplished by the right diet and exercise.
An individual's size not simply affects appearance, but also the entire quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, along with physical skills are damaged in ex. It is possible to do everything right whilst still having a gain. Should this happen, a condition may be the reason. While an excessive amount of food and never enough exercise are usually guilty, common medical ailments and widespread prescriptions might greatly increase size. Thanks a bunch for your post

One thing I'd prefer to say is always that car insurance cancellations is a dreadful experience and if you are doing the suitable things like a driver you will not get one. Lots of people do have the notice that they've been officially dumped by their own insurance company and many have to scramble to get supplemental
insurance owing a cancellation. Low cost auto
insurance rates are frequently hard to get after having a cancellation.

Understanding the main reasons concerning the auto insurance cancellation can help people prevent sacrificing one of the most
essential privileges available. Thanks for the strategies shared by
your blog.

Use oils that can help keep your hair soft and manageable.

Apparently, it actually lifts up build up
from the root and therefore stimulates hair growth. Once you
have determined what kind of texture your hair has, you can then start using one of the techniques described below to improve it.
Ideally, prepare the day before dilution and in the evening,
put the mixture in the palm of your hand and apply and hold your hair and scalp.

Exactly what the oil does is clean and exfoliate your hair follicles,
help make your bloodstream circulate better all around your head and in
return boosts the process involving hair growth
and acts as being a supercharger for making your hair get bigger.
