Nepal’s IT service exports have climbed to Rs 1.45 trillion, nearly doubling within three years and signaling a structural shift in the economy. Traditionally dependent on agriculture, tourism, and remittances, the country is increasingly leveraging its skilled, English-speaking workforce and favorable time zone. With supportive policies, the IT Investment Decade initiative, and a goal of generating 500,000 jobs, Nepal aims to achieve Rs 30 trillion in exports over the next decade. Policy priorities include tax incentives, AI adoption, IT promotion mechanisms, infrastructure upgrades, and support for domestic firms to position IT as a key economic pillar.
