President Ramchandra Paudel on Monday issued four new ordinances as per the recommendations made by a Cabinet meeting on Friday night.

According to the office of the President, these ordinances are aimed at enhancing governance, streamlining public service delivery, and promoting economic reforms.

The issued ordinances include Ordinance to Amend Some Nepal Acts Related to Promoting Good Governance and Public Service Delivery, 2025; Economic Procedure and Financial Accountability (First Amendment) Ordinance, 2025; Privatisation (First Amendment) Ordinance, 2025 and Ordinance to Amend Certain Nepal Acts Related to Improving Economic and Business Environment and Enhancing Investments, 2025.

The ordinances came at a time when the opposition parties were asking the government to summon the winter session of the House to discuss various issues including passage of the bills required to make service delivery more efficient. The government however on Friday recommended the President to issue the ordinances. Earlier, last week the president had issued an ordinance to regulate cooperatives and safeguard savings of the members.
