There is an urgent need to boost both domestic and foreign investments in Nepal to propel economic development and prosperity given the fact that the level of investment the country is receiving now is minimal. Nepal Republic Media Limited (NRM) collaborated with the Investment Board Nepal to organize a 'Nagarik Impact Forum' on Monday to identify challenges in attracting investments and propose measures to address them.

In 2022, Nepal generated half a billion dollars through IT exports. According to IIDS research, the credibility of experts in the IT industry has increased since then. Out of this half a billion dollars, $300 million was contributed by 67,000 individuals working locally but earning globally through freelancing, while only 106 companies brought in over $200 million.
