KATHMANDU: Finance Minister Dr. Yubaraj Khatiwada has said it was possible for the country to achieve 8 percent economic growth rate in the coming fiscal year.

In response to the queries raised by the lawmakers on the appropriation bill, the Finance Minister argued, “If the government, private sector and cooperative made collective efforts, the country could achieve the 8 percent growth rate next year.”

He reminded the lawmakers that the budget has given priority to the Tarai/Madhes by allocating over Rs 1 billion for creating physical infrastructures there.
