How should Nepal balance rebuilding efforts after the flood with the needs of its people?

Started August 28, 2026

Binod Chaudhary, Chairman & President of Chaudhary Group, says efforts to rebuild Nepal’s infrastructure after a devastating flash flood this week could cost at least $5 billion. He also said the amount his group will be spending on this effort will be higher than it did in 2015, when a deadly earthquake had sparked similar nationwide reconstruction work. He appeared exclusively on Bloomberg's "Insight with Haslinda Amin." (Source: Bloomberg)
