The Rastriya Swatantra Party is set to begin direct discussions with lawmakers on the country’s upcoming budget priorities, with two senior ministers scheduled to hold a pre-budget interaction on Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting is expected to focus on preparations for the next fiscal year’s budget and the areas the government should prioritize. Party leaders say the initiative is aimed at creating regular communication between ministers and members of parliament as economic planning moves forward.
Senior Ministers to Lead Budget Discussion
The discussion will involve Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle and Minister for Physical Infrastructure, Transport and Urban Development Sunil Lamsal. Both ministers are expected to exchange views with lawmakers regarding plans and priorities linked to the upcoming national budget.
According to party spokesperson Manish Jha, the interaction has been scheduled for 4 pm on Wednesday. The meeting will provide lawmakers with an opportunity to raise concerns and share suggestions related to economic policy and development priorities for the coming fiscal year.
Focus on Upcoming Fiscal Year
The main agenda of the meeting will center on the preparation of the next fiscal year’s budget. Discussions are expected to include government priorities and broader policy direction connected to public spending and infrastructure development.
The involvement of both the finance ministry and the ministry responsible for infrastructure and urban development highlights the importance being given to coordination before the budget is finalized.

Party Says Meetings Will Continue Regularly
Party spokesperson Manish Jha said the discussions would not be limited to a single event. He stated that similar interactions are planned to continue on a regular basis in the future.
The decision to hold recurring meetings indicates an effort to maintain dialogue between ministers and parliamentarians during important policy planning periods. Such discussions could also help improve coordination ahead of major economic decisions.
Budget Planning Moves Forward
As preparations for the national budget continue, the government is expected to engage with different stakeholders to shape spending priorities for the upcoming year. Wednesday’s interaction marks one of the early internal consultations linked to the budget process.
The participation of lawmakers is considered important because members of parliament often raise development issues from their constituencies and highlight areas requiring government attention. Their input may influence discussions on infrastructure, urban development and broader economic planning.
Attention on Economic Priorities
The upcoming fiscal year’s budget is likely to remain a major political and economic focus in the coming weeks. Meetings involving ministers and lawmakers are expected to contribute to discussions on how resources should be allocated and which sectors should receive priority attention.
With the finance minister and infrastructure minister jointly participating, the discussion may also emphasize coordination between economic planning and development implementation. This could become particularly important as the government prepares its broader fiscal strategy.
Lawmakers Expected to Share Recommendations
During the interaction, lawmakers are expected to provide suggestions on development needs, public projects and budget priorities. The exchange of views could help ministers better understand concerns raised by elected representatives from different regions.
The Rastriya Swatantra Party has presented the meeting as part of a continuing effort to strengthen communication within the parliamentary process. The party leadership believes regular consultations can help improve policy discussions before key national decisions are made.
