At the Nepal Economic Forum (NEF), we produce evidence-based research to redefine Nepal’s development discourse. Since its establishment in 2009 as a not-for-profit organization under the beed umbrella, NEF has emerged as a premier private sector-led economic policy and research thought center. Our work aligns with key areas such as sustainability, digital transformation, global integration, youth empowerment, and bottom-up growth.
