President Ramchandra Paudel will speak at the Federal Parliament today. He will present the government policy 2025 Nepal for the fiscal year 2025/26. The session starts at 3:00 PM at the Parliament Building in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu.
This annual address is more than a formality. It sets the direction for the national budget and future development goals.
Parliament All Set for the Big Day
The Parliament Secretariat has completed all tasks for the joint meeting. Officials have invited the Chief Justice, heads of government bodies, diplomats, and private sector leaders. The event will follow strict timing and formal protocol.
Because this session guides the yearly budget, it holds great importance. Many people are watching with hope for real changes.
Cabinet Gave Green Light This Week
On Wednesday, the Cabinet gave final approval to the policy and programmes. This decision followed talks among ruling party leaders.
They met at Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s official residence in Baluwatar. There, party leaders urged bold reforms. They said the new policies should build trust, support businesses, and create more jobs.
Main Focus: Economy and Infrastructure
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel spoke earlier about the government’s goals. He said this year’s plan aims to grow Nepal’s economy and build lasting strength.
He added that industries, transport, and energy are top areas for investment. These changes, he said, will help lower the trade gap and make Nepal more self-reliant.
Planning Commission’s Advice Taken Seriously
A few weeks ago, the National Planning Commission (NPC) shared its ideas with the Finance Ministry. The NPC wants:
-
Focus on long-term, useful projects
-
Less money wasted on short-term ideas
-
More funds for ongoing projects with pending costs
-
Support for projects that will finish next year
These suggestions will shape the budget and help Nepal grow in a balanced way.
From Policy to Budget: What’s the Process?
After the President’s speech, lawmakers will debate the policy document. This discussion helps shape the national budget.
The Finance Ministry will then take feedback from lawmakers. Using this input, it will draft and present the full budget later this month.
Private Sector Wants Quick Reforms
Many in the business world have shared their thoughts too. They want fewer taxes, easier rules, and better roads. Business leaders also asked the government to support tourism, farming, and clean energy.
By listening to these voices, the government can boost public trust and attract new investment.
Nepal’s Current Challenges and Global Links
Nepal is still facing issues like high costs and low income growth. COVID-19 hurt the economy, and the recovery has been slow. While remittances help, local jobs remain limited.
Experts say investing in roads, schools, and energy is key. These are major parts of the upcoming plans.
Big Moment for President Paudel and the Government
This is President Paudel’s second time presenting annual government plans. Many citizens are eager to hear what’s next. After recent elections, people want results, not just promises.
This session is a test of the government’s vision and commitment.
After the policy speech, members of Parliament will begin their review. This process might take a few days. Once lawmakers finish their debates, the Finance Ministry will finalize the full budget.
This budget will decide where public money goes—from roads and schools to health care and power supply.
