The second is the revival of the economy, and the third is internal and external connectivity in the country.

Stating that the country is in a state of economic turnaround, he urged industrialists and businessmen to wait until the next budget for that. Citing the example of the progress made by neighboring India in advancing the country with political stability and honesty, he said that some indicators of Nepal's economy are similar to those of the time when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed power and now.
'When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed power in 2014/015, some indicators of India's economy were comparable to those of Nepal's today. But in the last 12 years, it has taken a leap forward. It is time for us to follow the same path,' he said.
