Export entrepreneurs suggested the government to come up with a recovery plan for the exporters

The federation of export entrepreneurs in Nepal has recommended steps to be carried out by the government during lockdown imposed to prevent and control coronavirus infection. Handing over the memo to Finance Minister Dr Yubraj Khatiwada, a delegation of the Federation suggested the government to come up with a recovery plan for the exporters.

Similarly, the government should announce grant package in order to provide salary of the lockdown period from March 28 to permanent and contract-basis employees, to which the private sector would bear 50 per cent responsibility of basic salary scale.

Likewise, the government should announce grant package of Rs 9,000 per month by counting at least two and half months for salary of lockdown from March 11 for daily wagers and implement it. The private industries have to provide Rs 3,000 per month to workers as relief.

The government should introduce a policy to provide employment to youths, returned from overseas employment, considering the situation that more than one million people might return home from different countries, demands the memo.
