Nepal saw a significant improvement in its trade balance in fiscal year 2079/80 as trade deficits decreased by 15.45% compared to the previous year 2078/79. This improvement was mainly due to a sharp decline in imports, which dropped by 16.08% during the same period. The government’s strict measures played a crucial role in reducing imports, and according to the Customs Department’s data, the total imports stood at Rs. 16.11 Kharba in the financial year 2079/80.
