Minister for Finance Shanker Prasad Koirala has said that the recently unveiled fiscal budget has entered its implementation phase.

Inaugurating a day-long training to economic journalists here in Capital on Saturday, Minister Koirala informed that all the projects would get the Nation Planning Commission’s nod by the end of July.



Stressing on the harmony among budget, economic policy and monetary policy, he vowed to tackle the challenges of budget implementation.

About three dozen journalists associated with different media houses took part in the training, jointly organised by the Ministry of Finance and the Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal (SEJON).
