Kathmandu, Aug 3
Newly appointed Vice Chairman of National Planning
Commission Dr. Biswo Nath Poudel has said that the government will make
necessary initiatives to develop and expand the gold and silver business sectors.
In a meeting with a delegation of the Federation of
Nepalese Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association at his office on Tuesday, he said
that the sector would contribute more to the economy if the agenda of the
business were included in the national policies and implemented.
Dr. Poudel also expressed his commitment that the
NPC would more seriously think about the promotion of the original jewelleries
of Nepal, mine excavation and export promotion.
“Gold and silver business sector has an important
contribution to the economic development of the country and creation of
employment opportunities. It is the source of billions of revenue to the
state,” he said.
During the meeting, President of the Association
Manik Ratna Shakya appraised Dr. Poudel of the challenges of the business.
“Insufficient
supply of raw materials in the market has created problems in the smooth
operation of our business,” he said.
