Nepal's IT firms allowed to invest overseas
The Nepal Rastra Bank on Wednesday evening set norms, standards and limits on overseas investments for IT firms as per a law amendment in January relaxing the ban.
The maximum amount was set at 1 million U.S. dollars for one company, or an amount equivalent to 50 percent of the average foreign currency earnings by the company from IT service exports over the past three fiscal years, whichever is lower.
The move is aimed at facilitating global expansion for Nepalese IT businesses, noted the bank.

U.S. stocks close mixed as crucial week of earnings starts
NEW YORK, July 21 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks ended mixed Monday as investors geared up for a packed week of earnings dominated by Big Tech. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.04 percent to 44,323.07. The S&P 500 gained 0.14 percent to 6,305.6, while the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.38 percent to 20,974.17. Sector performance was uneven. Communication services led gains with a 1.9 percent rise, while consumer discretionary and materials also advanced. Energy and health stocks fell 0.96 percent and 0.61 percent, respectively. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reaffirmed the Aug. 1 deadline for implementing new tariffs, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized the administration's focus on deal quality over speed. "Rarely do you injure yourself falling out of a basement window. With expectations so low in earnings, I think that the end result will end up being better than anticipated," Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, told CNBC. "That is encouraging for the market as well." Investors remained focused on earnings season, with 62 S&P 500 companies having reported so far. Of those, over 85 percent have topped expectations, according to FactSet. Verizon Communications shares surged about 4 percent after the company beat second-quarter expectations Monday, lifting hopes for similarly strong results across the board. Cleveland-Cliffs also posted solid earnings, further boosting sentiment. Mega-cap tech names, which have powered much of the recent rally, were mostly higher. Alphabet led the group, rising 2.8 percent ahead of its earnings report Wednesday. Broadcom climbed 1.72 percent, while Amazon and Meta Platforms each gained more than 1 percent. Apple and Microsoft inched higher, while Nvidia and Tesla slipped slightly. Tesla is also due to report earnings Wednesday.

Roundup: Italian industry warns U.S. tariffs could undermine trade, dent growth
ROME, July 21 (Xinhua) -- A proposed new round of tariffs by the United States could result in a 38-billion-euro (44.4 billion U.S. dollars) loss in Italian exports and reduce the country's gross domestic product (GDP) by 0.8 percent by 2027, Italy's largest industrial association said Monday. The findings were published in a report by the research unit of Confindustria, Italy's main business lobby, amid concerns over rising protectionism and its spillover effects on the global economy. U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to triple a basic tariff on imports from the EU to 30 percent if Brussels does not cut a deal by the end of the month. "A 30-percent tariff would be unsustainable for Italy," the report stated, warning that such a move would not only significantly reduce trade volumes but also have wider macroeconomic consequences. Ciro Rapacciuolo, senior economist at Confindustria's CSC research center, said the tariff could slash Italian exports by 38 billion euros, equivalent to 58 percent of exports to the United States and around 6 percent of Italy's total exports. Under this scenario, Italy's GDP in 2027 would be 0.8 percent lower than projected under a business-as-usual trajectory, the report said. Beyond trade volumes, the tariff plan is also likely to affect exchange rates, inflation trends, and business confidence. According to CSC, the euro has already strengthened against the U.S. dollar in recent months, with the average exchange rate in July reaching 1.17 U.S. dollars per euro, up from a low of 1.04 in January, a 13.3 percent appreciation that could further challenge European exports to the U.S. market. The report also noted that the anticipated market volatility may push the European Central Bank to consider further interest rate cuts, potentially increasing inflationary pressures. Inflation across the eurozone has stabilized in recent months following the price surges seen during the height of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Data from Italy's national statistics agency ISTAT showed consumer prices in Italy rose 1.7 percent year-on-year in June, compared to 2.0 percent in the broader euro area. Business sentiment remains fragile. Italy's industrial confidence index stood at 93.9 points in June, which was still below the neutral threshold of 100 and indicated subdued optimism among enterprises. The index is likely to decline further if new tariffs are imposed. Confindustria's warning adds to growing international calls urging Washington to reconsider its protectionist stance and return to multilateral approaches in trade policy.

Roundup: Germany unveils massive investment plan to boost economy, yet reform seen as crucial
BERLIN, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Germany's government and top corporate leaders on Monday launched a sweeping investment initiative aimed at reviving Europe's largest economy, which has faced prolonged stagnation. But the ambitious plan has met with skepticism, as business leaders warn that meaningful investment depends on long-overdue structural reforms. The initiative, dubbed "Made for Germany," was announced at a business summit attended by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and executives from leading German and international companies. The plan envisions 631 billion euros (738 billion U.S. dollars) investment through 2028, including already announced projects, and targets key areas such as manufacturing facilities, research and development, and national infrastructure. Alexander Geiser, CEO of communications consultancy FGS Global and a co-initiator of the effort, stated on LinkedIn that over 100 billion euros of the total will come from new capital. However, no further details were disclosed. So far, 61 companies from various sectors have joined the initiative. Alongside founding firms such as Siemens and Deutsche Bank, the list includes BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Allianz, Airbus, Nvidia, and several high-tech startups. "This is one of the largest investment initiatives we have seen in decades," Merz said, adding that private capital could play a vital role in bolstering public investment. Germany's economy has contracted for two consecutive years and may shrink again in 2025. A lack of public investment for years and a sharp industrial slowdown have worsened the outlook. Business confidence has also declined under the previous government's inconsistent economic policies, causing many companies to hold back on capital spending. In May, the Merz administration announced a separate 500-billion-euro fund aimed at infrastructure development and climate-related projects. It is widely seen as a potential attempt to revive Germany's sluggish investment climate. Rebuilding Germany's industrial standing through advanced technologies has also become a top policy priority. A draft of the government's new Hightech-Agenda unveiled last week outlines investments in artifical intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and climate-neutral energy as key elements of a renewed "Made in Germany" identity. According to the draft, the government plans to build at least three semiconductor plants in Germany, aiming to eventually establish the country as Europe's leading chip production hub. In addition, it targets having AI contribute 10 percent of Germany's GDP by 2030. At Monday's summit, Merz also said the initiative aligns with broader goals of digital transformation and technological innovation. Siemens CEO Roland Busch called it "a new form of cooperation between business and politics." Julia Braune, head of Germany's trade and investment agency GTAI, added that the plan sends a strong message that public and private sectors are working together to reignite economic growth. Still, critics argue that without concrete reforms, the initiative risks being little more than a publicity campaign. Some politicians and economists have questioned the feasibility of fulfilling the investment ambition. As Germany looks to reclaim its role as an industrial and innovation powerhouse, the success of "Made for Germany" may depend less on the billions pledged than on Berlin's willingness to deliver long-promised reforms. Clemens Fuest, president of the ifo Institute, said that publicity alone is not enough. "We need fundamental reforms," he warned, urging the government to reduce bureaucracy and lower taxes. Currently, Germany's investment levels remain 5 percent below their 2019 benchmark. (1 euro = 1.17 U.S. dollar)
