Nepal's economy remains highly dependent on its agriculture sector which accounts for only 35.7% of the country's GDP but employs 75% of its workforce. Infrastructure is inadequate and according to the World Bank, only 43% of the population has access to all-weather roads. Power outages of up to 16 hours per day during the dry season (October-May) are common and limit economic development. Property rights are crudely protected by an inefficient judicial system, which is subject to considerable political influence. Systemic corruption and a non-transparent legal framework continue to impede the much-needed expansion of private investment and production.
