“We are hopeful that the government will implement the suggestions of the private sector,” Dhakal said.

Kathmandu. Hemraj Dhakal, vice-president of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), said he was hopeful that the incumbent government would implement the suggestions of the private sector.

Speaking at a pre-budget discussion program organized in the capital on Wednesday, he expressed the belief that the situation of the private sector’s suggestions would not be stacked like in the past.

He said, “We also have to think in a new context in the current time of change. And our suggestions don’t stick around as they used to. I think the government will take forward its suggestions. Because we have seen in these two decades that if the economy does not grow, any government will not be sustainable. We had to come to this place because the work was not as per the expectations of the citizens. ’

Stressing the need of putting to an end the tendency of attacking the private sector with every political change, he stressed the need of respecting investors and employment generation entrepreneurs.

Dhakal stressed on the need of establishing production-oriented economy, substituting import and promoting export.

“We are now standing in an environment where, in every political change, we should come out of the tendency of attacking the private sector and respect the people who provide investment and employment,” he said.
