From mid-July 2025 to mid-June 2026, remittance inflows significantly boosted Nepal's external position. In US dollar terms, the increase was 29.6%, amounting to USD 14.59 billion.
Net secondary income, predominantly driven by these remittances, rose to Rs 2.321 trillion. This surge in remittances has contributed to a near-doubling of the balance of payments surplus to Rs 926.06 billion and a 40.3% climb in foreign exchange reserves to Rs 3.76 trillion, sufficient to cover 19.1 months of imports.
