Kathmandu, Nov 2: Prime Minister and CPN (Maoist Centre) Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' said the country's economy is still under pressure though it was freed from a crisis.
As he said, preparations have been made for organising a national-level roundtable to seek ways for improving the economy.
While addressing a meeting of party central members in the Kathmandu Valley at the party central office in Parisdanda today, the Prime Minister said liberating economy from pressure remained as one of the top priorities of the government.
"Economy was really in a dire situation when we assumed the government. But the crisis was avoided. The situation of the forex reserve, revenue mobilization and its indicators, tourist arrivals and the remittance inflow suggest that we are making a progress to normalcy," he said.
Stating that Nepal's budget making process and system would not support a robust economy, he said a conventional economic approach would not address the domestic economic issues." Lack of a room for revising the policies and programmes following their presentations and the Red Book is not good." This culture be changed, he asserted.
He took time to say that conspiracies were being hatched against federal democratic republic, he said such efforts would be thwarted by collective efforts among all who were together for making the 12-point agreement, peace process and the drafting of the Constitution possible. He announced that none was expected to think that achievements could be reversed going against the people's aspirations. (RSS)
