Chandra Prasad Dhakal, President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), has emphasized that political parties must focus on establishing their economic agendas. He shared this view at the event “Economic Agenda in Party Manifestos”, organized by the Nepal Economic Journalists Association on Sunday in Kathmandu.
According to Dhakal, political parties currently tend to criticize each other to gain prominence, rather than prioritize their own policy agendas. He stated,
Dhakal also highlighted the negative perception of the private sector by political parties as a challenge. He added,
He noted a lack of coordination among ministries and a tendency to make decisions for popularity rather than long-term state interest. Dhakal stressed that without promotion and protection of the private sector, sustaining a vibrant economy would be difficult.
