Nepal rising as an economic power in South Asia

[Hunt]

Nepal may be a small nation with a population of only 3 crores, comparable to metropolis like Karachi or Mumbai but it is rising extremely fast in the 21st century. It's forex reserves have risen considerably and are rising every year.

https://kathmandupost.com/money/2023/12/14/nepal-s-forex-reserves-rise-to-a-record-12-75-billion Nepal's forex reserves are almost 13 Billion USD now, almsot 425 USD per capita.

For comparison, India's 620 Billion USD at 1.40 Billion population gives India forex per capita of 442 USD per capita, not much far ahead of Nepal.
Bangladesh has 17B USD and 16 crore people, approx. 105 forex reserve per capita.
Sri Lanka has recovered well after an economic collapse with 4.5 billion USD for it's 2.2 crore people.
Pakistan has approx 8 Billion forex reserves, almost double of Lanka.
Afghanistan's forex reserves are very difficult to predict due to lack of data published by it's central bank.

Forex reserve per capita (Total monetary reserves the govt owns per citizen) :-

Nepal 425 USD
India 442 USD
Bangladesh 105 USD
Sri Lanka 205 USD
Pakistan 32 USD

I am sure Nepal 425 would be happy to hear that Pakistan 32 approves of their wealth!

Nepal is a country in South Asia, we do not have any problems.

Hence we are happy for their success.

I do believe in Pan-Asian Unity.

Has Nepal ever shown any interest in uniting or trading with Pakistan?

Has Nepal ever shown any interest in uniting or trading with Pakistan?

It's the hindutva clowns in India we hate and who are a threat to the entire region, even Nepal itself is not too fond of India and like the rest of South Asia relies on China to keep India in check

What do you propose to export to Nepal? Any product Pak produces that Nepal would be interested in?

Imports may be difficult due to lack of forex.

Imports may be difficult due to lack of forex.

Perhaps Agricultural goods.

Perhaps Agricultural goods.

Pakistan is a net IMPORTER of agricultural goods. It imports everything from wheat to dal to palm oil to tea. It's agricultural production is insufficient to even meet domestic demands.

What agricultural product would you sell Nepal that it can't buy at cheaper rates from the world market?

Listen Indi/ot pretending to be an American. Instead of saying bad things about Pakistan, how about you get lost.

Everyone is South Asia is leaving Pakistan behind !!!!!! Pakistan has become the poorest country in South Asia by every metric possible.

With Mr 10% as President, the humpty-dumpty clan and the shirt lifters in charge, all under the stewardish of the rent seekers, Pakistan's future is not going to get any better anytime soon now...
