Formation of new government raises hope for economic boom: FNCCI President

Kathmandu, July 16: President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), Chandra Dhakal, has said the formation of a new government involving the two largest parties in the parliament has raised hopes for political stability in the country.
