Retrofitting Nepal for Future Shocks
In the book "Nepal 2043: The Road to Prosperity", author Sujeev Shakya presents a vision for Nepal's future.
Shakya notes that Nepal is strategically located between India and China, with Kathmandu situated at the midpoint between Mumbai and Beijing.
Nepal is not land-locked but land-linked to three billion people in China and India.
He believes that with the right policies, Nepal can attract millions of tourists from these two countries and become a high-income country by 2043.
- Nepal is set to graduate from a low- to a middle-income country by 2026
- And to a high-income country in 2043
According to Shakya,
with China and India becoming the two largest economies in the world in the next two decades … Nepal is the most valuable piece of real estate in the world
Author's summary: Nepal's strategic location can boost its economy.
