Energy sector liberalisation is the key!!!

The country recently experienced one of the longest power outage ever and the people probably paid the highest energy tariff till date just to keep their lights on. Bravo! History has been created. This historic moment is certainly unique and will be remembered by generations to come given the timing of its occurrence. The country got evolved in a grave power crisis as it first ever glimpsed a Maoist-led government when the world economy in itself was worst performing. Thus, no one needs to be coaxed to completely scapegoat the Maoist-led government for today’s darkness in the country. But, let me reveal some wisdom here. All the previous governments like the Maoist-led one should share and indeed deserve an equal portion of this ‘blame’ cake.
This was the start that i actually wanted in one of mine recently published article published in MyRepublica. The following link should actually lead you to the article.

Thinking Beyond Energy!!!

I wrote this article with an intent to find the the real cause behind Nepal's economic growth in terms of exports and imports. The results suggest a export driven economy amidst a surging budget deficit over the years. On this note, three recent developments in the country's export side are worth mentioning:
a) The country's export currently went up by 21 percentage.
b) The country is seeking tariff concession for agro-based goods.
c) Nepal finally gets a patent right on Pashmina.
Rest is all below:
