Nepal’s FDI commitments surge 33 percent amid policy reforms

Nepal has witnessed a 33 percent rise in foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments during the first ten months of the current fiscal year ended mid-May. Officials attribute this growth primarily to recent amendments to FDI-related laws and a more streamlined approval process.
