Labour unrest, frequent strikes hitting economic growth

The private sector blamed labour unrest, frequent strikes and energy deficiency as major bottlenecks in creating an investment-friendly environment that has hit industrial growth.
The current political turmoil, which has been created due to the  failure to promulgate a new constitution, has further fuelled uncertainty in the industrial sector, said president of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) Suraj Vaidya in an interaction programme organised by the Finance Ministry here today.
The labour unrest and strikes will continue since the political parties have failed to ensure stability through a new constitution, he added. “The private sector which was optimistic about attracting more investment in the productive sector utilising the opportunity of the Investment Year has been discouraged with the latest political developments.”
The garment industry has been compelled to cancel orders due to the irrational demands and threats from workers, said president of Garment Association – Nepal (GAN) Uday Raj Pandey. “The garment industry has failed to deliver products on schedule due to labour unrest and power outage.”
Similarly, entrepreneurs involved in the tourism sector said that tourist arrivals have reduced in a visible form. “The booking ratio at various five-star hotels has reduced by 30 per cent to 40 per cent,” an entrepreneur said. “Similarly, around 12 per cent airlines have already curtailed the number of flights to Kathmandu due to low mobility of tourists. Airline operators have reduced the number of
flights by some 30 per cent to 40 per cent due to the political instability."
The private sector also lamented about the unavailability of fuel to run industries. "Industries face hassles in getting diesel at a time when the country is also reeling under massive power outage,” said Vaidya.
The private sector also demanded the government to compensate them for losses due to unnecessary bandhs organised by various parties.
Addressing the concerns of the private sector, finance secretary Krishna Hari Baskota said that the government will try to incorporate all the concerns of the private sector in the coming budget.
Caretaker finance minister Barshaman Pun asked the private sector not to be discouraged because of the political instability. “Economic growth and prosperity should not be affected due to political instability,” he said, adding that the government is positive about addressing all the problems being faced by the private sector.

  3. An additional issue is that video gaming became one of the all-time main forms of recreation for people spanning various ages.
    Kids participate in video games, and also adults do, too. Your XBox 360 is one
    of the favorite video games systems for many who love to have
    hundreds of games available to them, plus who
    like to experiment with live with some others all over the world.

    Thanks for sharing your thinking.

  8. Yet another issue is that video games can be serious in nature with the most important
    focus on finding out rather than enjoyment. Although, it has an entertainment
    element to keep the kids engaged, each game is usually designed to develop a
    specific skill set or course, such as cs or scientific discipline.
    Thanks for your post.

  9. I have observed that over the course of constructing a relationship with real estate owners, you'll be able to come to understand that, in each and every real estate deal, a fee is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers tend not to "save" the commission. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by doing the agent's occupation.
    In completing this task, they commit their money along with time to complete, as best
    they will, the jobs of an broker. Those tasks include revealing the home through marketing,
    delivering the home to willing buyers, building a sense of
    buyer desperation in order to make prompt an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, tak qualification
    checks with the loan company, supervising repairs, and
    facilitating the closing.

  12. I'd also like to convey that most individuals who find themselves devoid of health insurance can be students, self-employed and people who are unemployed. More than half on the uninsured are under the age of Thirty-five. They do not really feel they are requiring health insurance because they're young and
    healthy. Their particular incom

  18. I have seen that now, more and more people are now being
    attracted to digital cameras and the industry of taking pictures.
    However, being a photographer, you will need to
    first spend so much period deciding the exact model of digicam to buy and moving
    via store to store just so you could buy the most inexpensive
    camera of the brand you have decided to choose.
    But it does not end generally there. You also have to
    take into account whether you should obtain a digital digital
    camera extended warranty. Thanks alot : ) for the good ideas I gathered from your web site.
