Nepal’s October Development Update Highlights Slower Economic Growth

The World Bank’s October 2026 Nepal Development Update reported that economic growth moderated to 3.9% in fiscal year 2025/26, down from 4.4% in the previous fiscal year. The report attributed the slowdown partly to weaker agricultural growth and adverse weather conditions affecting paddy production.
