Nepal's post-election outlook.
Significance
Elections for Nepal’s parliamentary lower house produced a decisive result in favour of a leftist alliance, but the formation of a new government has been delayed. The winning communist parties are struggling to agree on a merger and face several policy tests.
Impacts
India-China rivalry is set to rise in Sri Lanka, with Delhi and Beijing looking to increase investment.
Nepal’s GDP growth in fiscal year 2017/18 (July-July) may be less than 5%.
Kathmandu may seek to step up its trading relations with ASEAN states.
