Bagmati Province Government Budget Implementation Disappointing, Spending Below 7%

Makwanpur. The budget implementation status of the Bagmati Province Government appears disappointing. By the end of the first trimester (Shrawan, Bhadra, and Asoj) of the current fiscal year (2083/084), the province government's public expenditure has not even reached 7 percent.

According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Planning, only 6.61 percent of the total budget was spent in the first trimester of the current fiscal year. Ministry data indicates that the government is experiencing extreme sluggishness in development and capital expenditure.
