From the Desk ofPresident andManaging DirectorAs all of us know, after going through

protracted political conflict spanning

over a period of one decade, a new

ray of hope emerged after signing of

the Peace Accord between the Seven

Party Alliance and Maoists. Through

this Peace Accord, perhaps Nepal has

presented an unprecedented example

of how insurgencies can be brought to

the political mainstream. With this, as

expected, economic optimism of the

country has reached new heights once

again and corporates are becoming

active to identify new areas of growth.

Our Group, which has demonstratedduring the difficult years of conflict,arguably, a very high degree ofresilience and expansion, need to moveat a much more faster pace in planningour next 10 years of growth path. Whilecontinuing to strengthen our marketshare in our existing product ranges andbrands, a new focus needs to be broughtin services and infrastructure sectors. Asa consequence of the various multilateralagreements, we will see that the tariffbarriers will gradually become less

effective and we will have the rationaleto remain competitive through inherentcompetitive strengths both of thecountry and the Group itself.

We need to plan projects with biggerdomestic content and of markets whichgive us the economies of scale tocompete with products coming in fromboth our neighboring countries. Majorinitiatives, therefore, in construction basedproduct, hydropower and expandedfinancial services sector will take thecentre stage for the coming decade interms of Group’s future expansionstrategies. The time has come for theGroup to reorient our human resourcebase and support in many of theinitiatives that we have planned.

We welcome our friends and partners,both within and outside Nepal, to workwith us in opening up these new frontiers.
