For a long period of time, Nepal has been dependent on other countries, particularly for energy. This has had a negative impact on the economy every now and then.
While the Nepali capital market is still at its nascent stage there is a growing interest, with IPO subscriptions generally being oversubscribed.
Currently, the operational framework of the petroleum sector in Nepal is dominated by monopolistic structures.
Inability to facilitate substantial investments in the hydropower sector has subsequently led to significant negative impacts on the economic development of the country.
The current energy scenario of the country is such wherein a majority of the energy has to be imported to meet demand.
