Nothing has been ingested yet for Poverty headcount ratio at national poverty lines (% of population) in Nepal. Rather than estimate it, here is what the semantic layer already knows about the indicator itself.

Coverage below is what is currently curated for this indicator (any geography); it will fill in as more sources are crosswalked.

Caveats

National poverty lines are not comparable across countries (each is set relative to that country's own consumption norms); use poverty_headcount_ratio only for Nepal's own trend, not for cross-country comparison. Reported only in the years Nepal ran an NLSS survey (irregular cadence, not annual) -- verified live, most recent value 20.3% (2022).
