Finance Minister Varshman Pun has formed a budget drafting committee. Finance Minister Pun formed a committee on Friday under the coordination of Dhaniram Sharma, joint secretary of the ministry, for writing the budget statement for the next financial year 081/82.
Joint Secretaries Ritesh Kumar Shakya, Mahesh Acharya, Ram Prasad Acharya, Ishwari Aryal and Parvati Sharma are members of the committee. Sharma, Shakya, Acharyadwaya and Aryal are working in the Ministry of Finance. Sharma is the Deputy Director General of Internal Revenue Office. Committee coordinator Sharma said that the committee will start its work by holding a meeting on Saturday itself. "The work of writing the budget will be started immediately in coordination with the relevant ministries," he said.
Finance Minister Pun says that there will be no change in the positive program planned by outgoing Finance Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat. In a meeting with the Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka country director of the World Bank, Ferris Haddad Jervos, at the ministry on Friday, he stated that there will be no fundamental change in the government's policy if the minister is changed. He says that he has given that message by taking ownership of the principles and priorities of the upcoming budget presented by Mahat in the parliament.
"There should not be many changes in the policy when the minister is changing," he said, "There is a need for stability in the state's policy, from some angles I have also been suggested to change the principles and priorities." But I don't think it is appropriate to do so.' He said that the third investment conference scheduled to be held on May 16 and 17 and the International Development Association (IDA) meeting under the World Bank in Kathmandu in June will be held at the same time. In a different context, Minister Pun promised to complete the project currently running through MCA Nepal within five years.
