US, Israel–Iran war raises economic red flags for Nepal: remittance, inflation, and growth at risk
Escalation in the US, Israel–Iran conflict is creating economic vulnerabilities for Nepal via remittances, inflation, and growth.
Recent geopolitical tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran have raised significant economic concerns for Nepal. The conflict is expected to affect remittance inflows, which are a major support for Nepal’s economy, while also increasing imported inflation and posing downside risks to growth. The situation is flagged as a serious external shock that could strain Nepal’s balance of payments and fiscal stability if the crisis persists.
