I agree 100% with Hukka Nepali.. It is not rocket science to understand that we (nepal ) could have benefited from the fast growing two negibours.But i again blame maoist for destroying infrastucture..growth during 90s democracy..I think nepal though struggling saw lot of improvement during that era..we saw revoutionay programs like"afno gaun afai banau""the pension to elderly people".Some could have gone to great height had these dogs hadn't fought for the bones.And maoist dogs come n what do they do..they cannot win seats in parliament pick up guns and start destorying limited roads, airports, bridges..funny that people still belive they are going to take nation to prosperous one..i just laugh at their limited knowledge..These maoist are the one who made several industries close down... who suffered????people..poor people. they act like messiah now.. Just the example how maoist are responsible for putting a full stop in nepal's economic growth!!! Coming back to the topic: Who is going to invest in Nepal???? we are going to invest in Nepal.I mean we all ... in our (mutual ) capacity.. small hydro projects .. yes we want profit of course YES! but is it going to help country as whole..Small Energy companies (public trading) working for small projects..combining the electic grid!!! Then who is going to invest in Big hydro projects.Everybody in the world is going to invest in the project.Not only India..Show Europe that you can deliver cheap electricity show china you can deliver.. What am i talking about a global electric Grid..Without it the whole world cannot sustain . we all know that we have limited amount of energy.If the whole world cannot share the renewal energy .the whole world is doomed. Transportation grid... who is going to invest..Country is going to invest loans of course.But will be generated money by tolls..Any business benefiting from roads won't mind investing money in that sector..example tourism industry would / will give share of money if you can take tourist easily to remote places...It is tragedy for Nepal that we have freaking huge mountains which makes it so much harder to develop But we can make that grid happen .It is certainly possible .Trade between China and Nepal will flourish.. what Nepal needs now is not communism , not socialism and not capitalism..Nepal needs social - capitalism. develop country in the infrastucture at the same time not total loss for profit as well for investors.
