The first one was the April 2015 earthquakes that caused a huge loss of life and assets. The second shock has come in the form of a near complete disruption of external trade following the adoption of the new Constitution. Reflecting both the earthquake and trade related disruptions, inflation spiked to over 12 percent (y/ y) by mid-January rising 5 percentage points in just four months from mid-September 2015. This was the highest inflation level since FY2009, with increases in food and non-food prices contributing equally to the spike. As the trade disruptions ended, inflation has eased to back to single digits. 2016-07-12T16:18:43Z 2016-07-12T16:18:43Z 2016-05 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/06/26486827/nepal-development-update-remittances-risk http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24663 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Kathmandu Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Economic Updates and Modeling South Asia Nepal
