Govt Ignores IT Sector with Immense Potential: Swarnim Wagle

Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) MP Dr. Swarnim Wagle said that the current budget has ignored the IT sectors with immense potential. Speaking in the meeting of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, Wagle said that the country could be made prosperous from the IT sector, but the government has not thought about it.

“How much potential does the IT sector have in Nepal? How many Nepalis work for foreign companies? We had studied this from the private sector. Hearing the preliminary facts and figures of this, it can be estimated that it can bring a small earthquake in the economic ‘landscape’ of Nepal,” he said. “We have narrowed down to the language that we will adopt a digital economy that will shift the same axle in this new transformative sector. But we have not addressed the transformative potential that exists.”
