Kathmandu, Dec. 2
Welcoming the newly elected leaders of the Federation
of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) at the ministry on
Wednesday, he said that the collaboration with the business community would be
further enhanced in the days to come.
"The FNCCI's plan to create research-based
recommendations and submit to the government is encouraging. The government has
given priority to implement the programmes announced for the business
development and rehabilitation," he said.
He congratulated the new president of the business
body Shekhar Golchha and recently elected working committee representatives.
Golchha had updated the minister about the General
Meeting of the FNCCI and the election, held last week.
"The FNCCI is planning to move ahead by conducting
a study about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and prepare recommendation
for the economic rehabilitation. It will be submitted to the government,"
he said.
According to him, some of the suggestions given to
the government by the FNCCI had been addressed in the budget and monetary
policy of the current fiscal year but the commercial banks are reluctant to
implement the government programmes to support the businesses affected by the
pandemic.
There is a need of business-targeted special economic
stimulus especially to support the small and weakened entrepreneurs, Golchha
said.
Likewise, the FNCCI is creating a vision document of
the country with the support from international institutions. "This
document is being prepared on the basis of successful models and experiences in
foreign countries. It will set the immediate, medium-term and long-term targets
for the country's development," he said.
Revenue Secretary Ram Sharan Pudasaini, Senior
Vice-President of the FNCCI Chandra Prasad Dhakal, and vice presidents Dinesh
Shrestha, Anjan Shrestha and Ramchandra Shanghai were present on the occasion.
