Nepal Country Assessment for Youth Development Accounts

Nepal stands out as a candidate site to include in the worldwide demonstration of Youth Development Accounts (YDAs) in four ways: (1) a broad reaching financial infrastructure that already delivers youth savings products; (2) active interest in financial services expansion to the poor; (3) excellent research capability; and (4) huge potential impact in the country and region. This brief is one of a series that CSD has prepared on candidate countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This brief, like the others, assesses the candidate country on four criteria: institutional capacity, national political interest, research capacity, and broader macroeconomic environment.
