KATHMANDU: The much-hyped International Investment Summit 2019 is taking place in the capital from today.
Nepal will be showcasing 77 projects – 50 from the government side and 27 from private sector – in the summit to be participated by over 600 guests from 40 countries.
Nepal is hopeful that the two-day summit will bring investment worth over Rs 30 trillion through 77 projects in the country.
However, the government’s expectation seems a bit ambitious given the statistics of foreign investment it received over the last three years. Nepal received foreign investment worth Rs 37 billion during the period which is far less than what was expected.
Investment Board Nepal has informed that the invited guests from internal companies and financial institutes arrived in Kathmandu on Thursday itself.
