    China boosts FDI in Nepal
  • Statistics from Nepal's Department of Industry have indicated that China has once again topped the list of countries who have pledged FDI to Nepal.

    China accounted for 68% or $51.77 million of the total FDI in Nepal for the first half of FY 2016. India contributed only $18 million.

    However, Indian officials contended that India annually donates $50-70 million in aid to Nepal.
