Nepal Critical Development Constraints
Asian Development Bank | June 2009
Abstract
Nepal’s pace of growth and poverty reduction has lagged behind that of other South Asian countries. The
country diagnostic study—Nepal: Critical Development Constraints—inquires into the causes for Nepal ’s
slow growth vis-à-vis that of other South Asian economies by posing three questions:
• What are the critical factors constraining investments, both domestic and foreign?
• What should policy makers do to revive investment, particularly by the private sector?
• How can the growth be made more inclusive?
The inquiry and the results thereof aim to assist the work of government, development agencies, and the
private sector to achieve a higher, more equitable growth path to benefit the people of Nepal.
