A Senoir Maoist leader assured the business community that CPN Maoist was committed towards free and fair competitive economic policy. "CPN Maoist recognizes economic development and prosperity is not possible unless industries flourish and wealth is created," said Dev Gurung, a member of the CPN (Maoist) talk team.

Speaking at a program on ‘Future Economic Roadmap’, Gurung asserted that conflict arose in the country due mainly to uneven distribution, lack of social commitment and unhealthy competition. "While correcting those lacunae, we must institutionalize inclusive development that delivers goods to people. This is why inclusive democracy is important," said he.

Citing that the country suffers from capital constraints, he said, "We expect donor community and friendly neighbors to pledge assistance to Nepal for the country’s development and advancement of its people." He asked all players to remain committed to development and delivering people their due socio-economic entitlements, among others.

Bam Dev Gautam, leader of CPN-UML, stated that economic issues would not take central stage unless pertinent political issues are settled. "We must understand we are in a transition stage, and the economy will have to be driven through immediate short-term plans," said he. He even asked the business community not to be hasty. "Once the political setup becomes clears, future economic roadmap will also become clear," said he.
