NEPAL INVESTMENT YEAR 2012

FNCCI has proposed the year 2012 as Nepal Investment Year means there should be a great deal of foreign investment coming to Nepal.The level of investment  was $2 billion average in the heydays.

But now this average investment has been discouraged by the political instability and unfriendly environment from the investment point of view.

We declared 2011 as Nepal Visit year having an ambitious projection to be achieved.,But it failed. There are many reasons- mainly the political atmosphere is responsible for this debacle.The negative effects of the conflicts , labour problems and inconsistency in the rules and regulations are accountable for repulsing the investment to other countries.

Nepal has the compatitive and cocomparative advantage both but that can't be realized unless the conducive atmosphere is created.Don't think that our PM or President has declared some programs and all stakeholders would run to Nepal.Of course not.By our declaration no body is coming to visit or invest.

This Investment Year 2012 came in wrong time,though we need it ,but first put the house in order then only anticipated elements will come and comply with our production factors.

I simply mean that we need this type of zeal but the time selected is not correct.Whatever we say that we are peaceful country ,no body would come unless we prove it for some time stable.

And more over, this type of work is not the exact work of the transitional government-who lacks the credibility.I am afraid, perhaps  this would also be  a notion in plan and can not be seen in action.And my aprehension is, Nepal would further loose its credibility.Please study it well before doing-whim

will not work neither the wishful thinking.Statesmen must note this fact.
