In the first five months of FY 2082/83, the Nepal government has used only 8 percent of its development budget, showing very slow progress in capital spending. During the same period, it managed to collect about 78 percent of its targeted revenue. Despite this, government expenses exceeded income, resulting in a budget deficit of around NRs 1.5 kharba.
The figures highlight a familiar pattern where revenue collection remains relatively strong, but development spending lags behind, raising concerns about delayed projects and overall economic momentum.
