Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle and Team Work Late on Budget Preparation

Kathmandu. It was 12:45 AM. Singha Durbar was deserted. But the lights were not off in the Ministry of Finance. Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle and staff left the main building of the ministry only after midnight. Some were in a hurry carrying files, some were talking on the mobile.

Every year, as Jestha 15 approaches, the atmosphere inside Singha Durbar changes. The Ministry of Finance, which is busy with meetings, discussions, and hustle and bustle during the day, becomes even more active after dark. At this time, the staff and officials of the ministry are busy with final preparations.
