Inflation is measured through the Consumer Price Index (CPI) by the National Statistics Office (formerly Central Bureau of Statistics). Because the Nepalese Rupee (NPR) is pegged to the Indian Rupee (INR) at a fixed rate of $1.6$, Nepal's inflation closely tracks Indian inflation trends. Food and beverage prices, housing, and transportation form the major components of the CPI basket. The Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) monetary policy aims to anchor inflation expectations through interest rate and liquidity management. Practise these concepts as timed MCQs to lock the pattern in.
