Frequently asked questions
Who issues the Nepalese Rupee?+

Has the Nepalese Rupee been debased?+
Every fiat currency loses purchasing power over time as central banks expand the money supply. M2 has grown by approximately 328% over the past decade. Combined with cumulative inflation, this is the gap between NPR as accounting unit and NPR as a store of value.
Is the Nepalese Rupee sound money?+
On the Money2069 0–100 sound-money scale, the Nepalese Rupee currently scores 47.5. The score weights inflation volatility, 10-year money-supply growth, and 1-year FX stability. Higher = closer to sound. No fiat scores 100 because no fiat has zero issuance.
