The World Bank on Thursday launched the Nepal Fiscal Dashboard, a digital platform integrating public financial data from federal, provincial and local governments. The tool is designed to help policymakers, researchers and journalists analyze budget allocations, revenue collection and expenditure patterns. Former National Planning Commission Vice-Chairman Shiv Raj Adhikari highlighted its importance for evidence-based policymaking, while World Bank expert Yasuhiro Saito said the platform would enhance fiscal transparency. The Ministry of Finance is also developing a similar dashboard, expected within a year.
