Exports of professional consultancy services have become a significant source of foreign currency earnings. In the first half of fiscal year 2025/26, Nepal earned Rs 21.9 billion from IT, engineering, management, and related services—an increase of 24.5 percent year-on-year. After accounting for Rs 2.82 billion in imports, net earnings stood at Rs 19.08 billion.
