Project Sambaad Bhaag Dui: New World Disorder: Trading Realities in an Uncertain and Mercurial Pe...
In this sambaad, Madhu Raman Acharya (https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhu-raman-acharya-38a31885/) , Shiv Raj Bhatt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/shiv-raj-bhatt-2a207826/) , Kshitiz Daha (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kshitizd/) l, and host Dikshya Singh (https://www.linkedin.com/in/diykshya/) explore Nepal’s evolving trade landscape—its participation in multilateral, regional, and bilateral frameworks, and why the country has yet to fully leverage these arrangements. Despite benefits like duty-free market access through its LDC status, Nepal faces challenges in integrating into regional value chains and lacks a clear strategy for the post-LDC transition. The discussion highlights the need for stronger domestic policy, outward-oriented diplomacy, and industrial development to move beyond a narrow export base and prepare for a more resilient trade future.
This is a live recording of the panel discussion at Project Sambaad.
Project Sambaad (projectsambaad.info) is a collaborative platform that promotes in-depth conversations that critically examine Nepali society and its policy-making space. Through Project Sambaad, PEI and like-minded organisations seek to explore broad, impactful questions that contribute to a wider dialogue on the politics and development of Nepal and the South Asia region.
Just a quick heads-up—this is a live recording of the conversation, so the audio quality might not always be perfect. Also, you'll hear a mix of Nepali and English throughout the conversation—hope you enjoy!!
