Budget Announcement: NPR 25.76 Billion for FY 2082/83
Kathmandu Metropolitan City has proposed a budget of NPR 25.76 billion for the upcoming fiscal year. Of this:
- NPR 25.11 billion will be covered through the city’s consolidated fund
- NPR 650 million is expected to come from external sources
Delay Due to Internal Conflicts
Before presenting the budget, Mayor Shah had already introduced the city’s policy and programs. As per the constitutional requirement, all local levels must present their budget by Asar 10. However, internal disagreements within the Metropolitan City caused delays this year.
Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol even issued an apology for the delay in presenting the budget.
