Kathmandu: Remittance inflows and foreign exchange reserves have seen an increase in the first four months of the ongoing 2025-26 fiscal year, as reported by the central bank on Monday.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Nepal Rastra Bank revealed in its monthly report that remittance inflows rose by 25.3 percent year on year, reaching 4.88 billion U.S. dollars from mid-July to mid-November. This growth is attributed to an increase in the number of migrant workers and higher dollar values.

The report further stated that the current foreign exchange reserves are adequate to cover the prospective merchandise imports for 20.8 months and merchandise and services imports for 17.4 months.
