There was a factual error in the lead news titled 'Next govt to face 16 challenges on economic front' published in our yesterday's (Thursday) issue. The export figure during July-November period was mistakenly shown as US$1.3 billion, which is the figure for November alone. Country's total export for July-November period thus stood at $6.55 billion. This part of the report was creeded by the news agency, UNB. The inadvertent mistake is regretted.
