Given the rapid digitization of the economy in the past two years, Brandworth Pvt. Ltd. will organize the second edition of the Fonepay Digital Economy Conclave 2022 on June 3, 2022 (Jestha 20, 2079 BS).

Nepalis have become acclimated to several aspects of digital technology, including e-commerce, digital payment, online education, and more, throughout the Covid 19 pandemic. As a result, there has been a significant increase in digital services in many parts of life.
In light of these developments, the Fonepay Digital Economy Conclave 2022 intends to bring together important players to debate the latest trends, growth prospects, and problems of the Nepali economy’s digitization.

Regarding this most awaited discourse on digital transformation and development, the CEO of organizing company Brandworth Pvt. Ltd., Mr. Mohan Gajurel shares,
“The major goal of this year’s conclave is to address the features of digitalization in public life for economic growth and social fairness as economic activities return to normalcy following the COVID-19-related movement restrictions.”
FonePay Digital Economy Conclave was a worthy in itself last year as many discussions made there got their concrete result in the further days.
Some of them were:
- As per the announcement of Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari to allow an international payment gateway, NRB allowed the banks to issue prepaid dollar cards with an annual limit of $500 for international payments
- Similarly, Namaste Pay is also a commendable outcome of this discussion
- Also, following the discussion of interoperability for cross-border payments, FonePay and Visa have already agreed to allow foreign Visa cardholders to make payments by scanning FonePay QR
This year, the discourse is anticipated to open newer ways and explore new ideas for the digital transformation and the fruitful attainment of the goal of a “Digital Economy”.
