Nepal’s economy is forecast to grow 3.99% at basic prices and 4.61% at purchasers’ prices in FY2024/25, below the government’s 6% target. The World Bank trimmed its growth outlook to 4.5%, citing flood damage and financial fragility, and lowered its FY2025/26 projection to 5.2% from 5.4% due to rising non-performing loans and cooperative bankruptcies.
