On 28 May, Finance Minister Yubaraj Khatiwada announced a budget of Rs1464.64 billion.
The budget is aimed at cushioning the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The lockdown, which was first imposed on 24 March is scheduled to end on 2 June. But many are expecting the government to take an easy way out and extend it once again as even economic and humanitarian crisis following the lockdown has killed more people than the coronavirus.
