Have you read news from yesterday in nepalnews.com and thehimalayantimes.com? Govt collected tax of Rs 99 billion in 2 months. That's more than US$1 billion in 2 months. At this rate, govt is bringing in over $6 billion in revenue. I dont see this as a sign of nation going down. Remittance inflow is increasing at the same rate of US$6 billion or even more. Tourism is up by 10% to 600,000 just coming via TIA.

Bottom line is. those who are pessimistic will always remain pessimist.
