Nepal

Nepal prioritizes hydropower generation, road connectivity, and airport modernization to support economic growth and regional trade integration. Infrastructure investment aims to improve energy exports, tourism, and cross-border connectivity with India and China. Financing largely depends on public budgets, concessional loans, and multilateral development assistance. Geographic challenges, disaster vulnerability, and institutional capacity constraints affect project implementation.
