The Economic Survey 2082/83 presents Nepal's real economic situation — GDP growth, public finance, banking, trade, and social development. We've simplified it so everyone can understand, not just economists.
The most important numbers from Nepal's economy — explained in simple language.
Understanding Nepal's most important economic report
Every year, Nepal's Ministry of Finance publishes the Economic Survey (आर्थिक सर्वेक्षण) — a comprehensive report about how the country's economy performed. Think of it like a report card for Nepal's economy. It covers everything from how much the country earned and spent, to how many people have jobs, how prices changed, and how much money came from abroad.
GDP (Gross Domestic Product) measures the total value of everything produced in Nepal in a year. A 5.1% growth means Nepal's economy became 5.1% bigger than last year — more goods produced, more services offered, more income generated.
Inflation means prices are going up. If inflation is 4.8%, things cost 4.8% more than last year. High inflation hurts poor people most because their salary doesn't go as far. Nepal's inflation is currently under control.
Remittance is money sent home by Nepali workers abroad (mainly in Gulf countries, Malaysia, and India). This money is critical — it helps families survive and is one of Nepal's biggest sources of foreign currency.
Nepal imports (buys from abroad) much more than it exports (sells abroad). This gap is called the trade deficit. It means more money flows out than comes in from trade, which can put pressure on Nepal's economy.
Economic numbers translate into real changes in everyday Nepali life.
Each section of this website covers a different part of the economy with charts, simple explanations, and key figures from the official Economic Survey 2082/83.
