FM presents revised budget

0 comments
After two days of continuous obstruction, the parliament session resumed today after Finance Minister Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai presented the revised document of the government's annual budget at Monday's meeting, as demanded by Nepali Congress members.

Finance Minister Bhattarai came to the meeting today and assured the members that he had corrected the budget document under 14 headings without changing the proposed budgetary figures.

Nepali Congress lawmakers had disturbed three consecutive meetings since Friday demanding that the government table a revised budget document as pledged by the finance minister on Wednesday.

During his reply to questions raised by members last Wednesday, Bhattarai had pledged he would present a document after correcting mistakes in the budget document and incorporating "constructive" suggestions from members.

According to Bhattarai, the government will integrate public school students from endangered and extremely marginalized communities under its free education programme up to Class 12. Earlier, Bhattarai had allocated Rs. 1.9 billion for free school education programme for all public school students in Karnali Zone and Dalit communities from across the country.

Similarly, Bhattarai said the Finance Ministry would release necessary budget from its "Contingency Expenditure for Development Programmes" to initiate the process of converting 47 private campuses into constituent campuses of Tribhuvan University. The initially allocated amount was Rs. 9.2 million and it aimed to convert only eight of such campuses.

He informed that the government would provide necessary budget for infrastructure development and promotion of tourism business in Rara Lake of Mugu district and Janakpur area of Dhanusha.

According to Bhattarai, the government has allotted Rs. 80 million to provide public welfare advertisements to media and decided to waive royalty and renewal fees for FM radio stations, cable TV companies and private television stations as in the past.

The government has also decided to waive land registration fee for family members of those killed during the April Uprising in 2006, Maoists' People's War and Madhes movement.

Bhattarai changed his promise made on Wednesday to set up a chemical fertilizer industry and said the government would take initiative to conduct feasibility study for the industry with private sector support.

Though today's meeting was supposed to continue deliberations on allocation to the Ministry of Defence, Water Resources and Physical Planning and Works, Speaker Subas Nembang adjourned the meeting till Monday.

According to the Business Advisory Committee, the House will discuss appropriation bills under headings of Ministry of Finance and Home Affairs on Monday.

NRB stumbles on merge unease

0 comments
Narayani Finance, National Finance and Paschimanchal Finance were about to merge to form a development bank. They even signed Memorandum of Understanding four months back which has been broken now. The new merger policy of Nepal Rastra Bank has brought about the turmoil. According to the new policy of NRB, the upgrading companies must increase their capital first then only step towards advancement. All the merger procedures had to be carried out all over again, and also because of lack of internal understanding between these companies, Paschimanchal stepped backwards. However, Narayani Finance and National Finance are about to carry out all the merger process all over again without the participation of Paschimanchal Finance.

Govt to accomodate suggestions on budget

0 comments
Finance Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai today pledged to make changes in the government budget presented at the Legislature-Parliament, to incorporate constructive suggestions.

Furnishing clarifications in response to the queries raised by members during three days of deliberations, Minister Bhattarai said he has received very constructive suggestions from the lawmakers in the course of the budget deliberations.

"Even the CPN-UML, a major constituent in the ruling six-party alliance, has furnished written suggestions, which I want to incorporate into the budget to make it more comprehensive," he said, adding, "I seek permission from the House to incorporate the suggestions in the budget."

Referring to claims by opposition Nepali Congress members that the jumbo budget would lead to inflation, Bhattarai said it was the need of the hour to achieve high economic growth, reconstruct destroyed infrastructures and provide relief to the conflict victims.

"Though the implementation part seems to be very tough and challenging, we can meet the target through collective endeavours and a politics of consensus," he added.

He claimed that the government has sufficient basis for the control of price hikes and inflation through adoption of effective measures to increase revenue, production and supplies.

Expressing commitment to meeting the government's target of collecting 15 percent revenue, Bhattarai said, "The government is determined to control corruption and revenue leakages.

He said that the government wanted to promote a public-private partnership approach and attract national and international private investors to achieve rapid economic growth in the country.

In this regard the government would introduce special law for the financial sector in the near future, he added.

Defending the government's plan to set up a high-level economic council under the convenorship of the prime minister, the finance minister said this was meant not to control the line ministries and centralize power but to make the monitoring mechanism more effective.

Replying to queries about the heavy dependence on foreign aid, Bhattarai said that it was not a big target. "I have increased the figure for foreign loans by around Rs 8 billion from the Advance Budget presented by former [finance] minister Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat under which the expectation was to collect about Rs 57 billion."

When asked about the government's economic policy, Bhattarai replied that since the country was in a transitional phase, the Maoist-led coalition government's budget was based on capitalism heading toward socialism. Talking about the sluggish economic growth rate, Bhattarai said that the structural problem should be addressed to achieve the expected economic growth.

Referring to the existing VAT rate, he said that though the government wanted to adopt multiple tax rates, it could not incorporate this in the budget due to delayed submission of its report of the Revenue Advisory Committee.

Govt determined to keep inflation low, says FM Bhattarai

0 comments
Finance Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai has said the government is committed to keep inflation low -- around 7.5 percent as projected in the budget estimate for the new fiscal year.

According to him, significant decline in the price of oil in the global market and the government's efforts to increase growth and improve efficiency of the supply mechanisms will be instrumental in checking price rise, which currently stands at 12 percent.

Bhattarai was answering the queries raised by lawmakers during the parliamentary debate on the budget.

Saying that the government is committed to check misuse of resources, the Finance Minister, who presented a Rs 2.36 billion budget that has been dubbed by experts as inflated and ambitious, claimed that the government is able to implement its programmes thanks mainly to improved revenue collection.

Bhattarai also complained of what he called biased judgement of some parties on the budget, and called for cooperation in achieving the objectives laid out in the budget.
