The private sector will
promote good business practices to create a clean image.
"Our activities for
next year will be focused on building a fair business environment," said
president of National Business Initiative (NBI) Padma Jyoti, during the sixth
anniversary of NBI.
"The initiative
will also conduct dialogues on the safety of entrepreneurs," he said,
adding that threats to entrepreneurs have been major obstacles to development
in the current political turmoil. "We are proposing a special security
plan in a public-private partnership model," Jyoti added.
More than one dozen
private sector organisations, including Federation of Nepalese Chambers of
Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), Nepal Chamber of Commerce (NCC), Hotel Association Nepal (HAN) and
Nepal Association of Foreign Employment Agencies are associated with the
initiative that aims to promote business in the country and abroad.
In the programme, former
president of Nepal Chamber of Commerce and NBI general secretary Surendra Bir
Malakar said that entrepreneurs were not able to get the peace dividend despite
the end of the armed conflict. "Therefore, political instability should
end early,” he said, adding that promulgation of a new constitution is a must
for peace and stability that can ensure an investment friendly environment by
encouraging the private sector.
The initiative has
been conducting a study on the security situation of entrepreneurs — that could
help instill confidence in the business fraternity — in Morang, Sunsari, Bara,
Parsa, Kailali and Kathmandu.
