Combining aspects of the International Economics course topics, make an economic
Combining aspects of the International Economics course topics, make an economic report on the Nepal. Focus on international economic and finance categories, according to the following outline. I expect YOUR ANALYSIS to be included throughout, so please do not just give me pages of ″empty″ numbers.
You should also have the most currently available information, in your report.
As well, it should be your own original work. (I keep all assignments from past sememsters and I have this ″fun″ plagiarism checker that has disappointed a few students in the past…….)

You may add a brief survey of the country, including non-economic aspects such as culture, political, and ethnic issues, demography, etc. , ″IF″ you think that it is relevant to their economic conditions. Your reasoning on this should be justified.
