For the current fiscal year (FY 2026/27), Nepal has secured foreign aid commitments totaling Rs 161.46 billion. This includes Rs 58.83 billion from bilateral development partners and Rs 102.62 billion from multilateral agencies.
In the previous fiscal year (FY 2025/26), Nepal mobilized only 45.66 percent of its foreign aid target, a situation largely attributed to slow capital expenditure. An August 5, 2026, article emphasized the increasing necessity for Nepal to train its diplomats in economic diplomacy, especially as grants have been reduced, prompting a re-prioritization towards securing soft loans, foreign direct investment (FDI), and promoting exports and tourism.
