Nepal, with a population of around 31.61 million people, has a GDP of approximately 46.08 billion making it the 98th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR)
The economy is driven by agriculture, tourism, and remittances from its large overseas workforce. It is heavily dependent on its neighbor India for trade and transit, and is also developing closer ties with China.
The digital payment space in Nepal is dominated by mobile wallets like eSewa and Khalti, which are used for everything from mobile top-ups and utility bills to QR payments and event ticketing. Despite the growth of these wallets, physical cash, the Nepalese Rupee, remains the primary medium of exchange for most day-to-day transactions. For larger online transactions, the connectIPS system allows for direct bank account-to-account transfers and payments.
