On 16 April 2024, SAWTEE organized a roundtable discussion on "Tapping Nepal’s export potential: Firm-level perspectives" in Kathmandu. Considering the urgency to examine ways to create an enabling environment to propel exports, SAWTEE is undertaking a study of the export sector, which also entails a survey of firms to understand the constraints to exporting and the factors that enable exporting. The study is to inform the Asian Development Bank’s Country Partnership Strategy (2025-2029), which seeks to foster export growth and support the development of a new growth model based on competitive businesses producing and exporting a range of goods and services. The main objectives of the roundtable were to get inputs on the study design and to discuss the prospects and challenges faced by firms in breaking into export markets, continuing to export and expanding exports. The participants included representatives from the private sector, covering agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, IT and logistics sectors; trade experts; and ADB representatives.
