These four topics are being discussed in the second edition of the Fone Pay Digital Economy Conclave

The second edition of Fone Pay Digital Economy Conclave is scheduled to be held on 3rd June. 

The organizers have said that the conclave is being organized keeping in mind that the economy is taking a leap towards digitization as Nepalis have become accustomed to various dimensions of digital technology after COVID-19. 

Conclave is going to have a wide discussion with the stakeholders about the latest possibilities, opportunities and challenges of digitization.

In 2021, the global economy contracted more than twice as much as in the 2008/09 economic crisis. However, the world's digital economy is booming in the midst of the crisis. Billions of dollars worth of transactions represent the digital economy in the midst of the crisis.

According to the organizers, the main objective of this year's Conclave is to generalize economic activities under the COVID-19 effect and how to use digitization in people's lives for economic growth and social justice.

The second edition of the Conclave has extensive interactions and debates in four different sessions on 'Changing Times, Changing Economy', 'Creating Impact That Lasts', 'Nepal: Small Market or Unlimited Possibilities?' And 'When Will We Have Nepali Unicorn Identity?' 

According to the organizers, there will be wide participation of key stakeholders of Nepali digital economy, regulatory bodies and representatives of the private sector in these sessions.

The conclave will feature keynote speeches by Sandeep Ghosh, Visa's Group Country Manager for South Asia and India, and Maha Prasad Adhikari, Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank.

According to the organizers, separate sessions will be held with Finance Minister Janardan Sharma and Communications and Information Technology Minister Gyanendra Bahadur Karki on digital development of Nepal.
