BO2 hosted an interaction between its IT companies #Fusemachines #Genesesolutions #Assabet and #NASIT , lawyers and chartered accountants to discuss the #Transferpricing regulation. The consensus was that it is a much needed regulation and a welcome one. However, much work is needed in defining the safe harbour rule. #BO2

Nepal’s private sector is a cornerstone of the country’s economic development and resilience. Kicking off my visit with key partners from the private sector sector, business associations, and development partners. I witnessed their strategic vision and innovative spirit that is driving sustainability and inclusive growth, as well as opportunities across Nepal. The private sector not only fuels economic expansion but also plays a crucial role in job creation, innovation, infrastructure development, and social well-being. By fostering strong collaborations and partnerships, we can continue to create new opportunities, and address challenges effectively.
