आर्थिक वृद्धिदर ३.५ प्रतिशतमा सीमित रहने आईएमएफको प्रक्षेपण. 

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Biased language / mild framing

Use of evaluative or interpretive wording that can subtly frame perceptions rather than strictly describe facts.

1) "ध्वंस र आर्थिक अनिश्चितताले निजी क्षेत्रको मनोबल खस्केको र लगानीको वातावरण कमजोर भएको" (destruction and economic uncertainty have lowered private sector morale and weakened the investment environment). 2) "निजी क्षेत्रको मनोबल खस्केको" (private sector morale has declined).

3 suggestions

Replace evaluative terms like "मनोबल खस्केको" (morale has declined) and "लगानीको वातावरण कमजोर भएको" (investment environment has weakened) with more measurable or clearly attributed descriptions, for example: "...ध्वंस र आर्थिक अनिश्चितताका कारण निजी क्षेत्रको लगानी योजना र गतिविधि घटेको आईएमएफको मूल्यांकन छ" (IMF assesses that private sector investment plans and activities have decreased due to destruction and uncertainty).

Clarify that these are IMF interpretations, not established facts, by consistently using attribution: "कोषका अनुसार" (according to the Fund), "कोषले मूल्यांकन गरेको छ कि" (the Fund has assessed that...).

Where possible, add brief quantitative or concrete indicators (e.g., investment figures, survey data) instead of general psychological terms like "मनोबल" (morale).

Omission of key information (mild)

Leaving out contextual details that could help readers better evaluate the claims, even if the text is not overtly biased.

The article reports that the IMF has revised growth projections downward (from 5.2% to 3–3.5%) and mentions causes like destruction, protests, and uncertainty, but does not provide any alternative views (e.g., from the government, private sector, or independent economists) or specific data on the scale of the damage or protests.

3 suggestions

Include at least one brief response or comment from the Nepal government (e.g., Finance Ministry) or Nepal Rastra Bank on the IMF’s revised projection, to show whether they agree, disagree, or provide additional context.

Add a short quantitative indication of the scale of the "ध्वंस" (destruction) or protests (e.g., sectors affected, estimated loss, duration), so readers can better judge the plausibility of the IMF’s explanation.

Mention if there are any other recent projections (e.g., from the World Bank, ADB, or national agencies) and how they compare, to avoid relying on a single institutional perspective.

Appeal to authority (structural, mild)

Relying heavily on the authority of a respected institution (IMF) without presenting corroborating evidence or alternative analyses.

The article is almost entirely based on the IMF team’s visit, its Article IV and ECF review, and its press release. Statements like "कोषले यस्तो प्रक्षेपण गरेको हो" and "कोषले जनाएको छ" are repeated, and no other analytical or critical perspectives are included.

3 suggestions

Complement IMF statements with at least one independent expert or local economist’s brief assessment of whether the IMF’s projections and explanations seem reasonable in the Nepali context.

Where possible, add a sentence summarizing the underlying data or indicators the IMF used (e.g., recent GDP trends, sectoral performance) instead of only citing the institution’s conclusion.

Clarify that projections are estimates and may change, for example: "यो प्रक्षेपण उपलब्ध हालका तथ्यांक र अवस्थामाथि आधारित अनुमान हो, जसमा आगामी महिनामा परिवर्तन आउन सक्छ" (this projection is an estimate based on current data and conditions and may change in coming months).
