Nepal’s economy projected to grow 3.85% this fiscal year, size to reach Rs 6.6 trillion

Kathmandu: Nepal’s economy is expected to grow by 3.85 per cent in the current fiscal year 2025/26, according to the latest projection released by the National Statistics Office.

The office has estimated that the country’s total economic output will expand to around Rs 6.6 trillion during fiscal year 2025/26, reflecting moderate economic recovery despite persistent structural challenges.

The new forecast also revised last fiscal year’s growth estimate. While the economy had earlier been projected to grow by 4.61 per cent in fiscal year 2024/25, the revised estimate now puts actual expansion at 4.43 per cent, indicating that economic activity remained slightly below initial expectations.
