Now Financial Indicators of 761 Governments Can Be Viewed on a Single Dashboard

6 Chaitra, Kathmandu – The ‘Nepal Fiscal Dashboard’ now allows easy access to financial indicators of all three levels of government.

Developed by the World Bank Nepal, this dashboard enables users to view, analyze, and download budget, revenue, expenditure, debt, and other financial metrics of the federal, provincial, and local governments all in one place.

At an event organized by the Nepal Association of Financial Journalists (NAFIJ) on Friday, the World Bank Nepal Group presented on this initiative. Launched last month, the dashboard offers convenient access to data on income, expenditure, and debt across all three tiers of government.

The dashboard provides budget details, revenue sources, and expenditure information from federal, provincial, and local levels. It consolidates all these data on a single platform designed for visualization and in-depth analysis. The World Bank describes this dashboard as an integrated, interactive, and user-friendly tool.

The dashboard includes historical data from 2018 through 2022, with ongoing updates to incorporate new information. Data sources include budget speeches, consolidated financial statements published by the Office of the Auditor General, and statistics from the Nepal Rastra Bank and other public agencies.

Access to the dashboard requires no permission; anyone can use it freely. However, since the data originate from official government sources, proper citation of these sources is recommended. –RASS
