Committee Email: ecofin@ratobangala.edu.np

ECOFIN (Economic and Financial Committee) is regarded as a critical organ of the United Nations. The committee was formally established in 1945 as one of the first general assemblies. The committee is responsible for regulating financial policies, capital movements, taxation matters, and economic relations on a global scale. Ecofin is a vital platform for member states to collaborate on economic and financial matters to achieve a more stable and equitable global economy. The conferences of the ECOFIN serves as a forum for addressing the economic challenges faced by conflict affected regions. Fragility in a nation is the combination of exposure to risks - such as political instability (e.g., corruption, weak governance), economic shocks (eg; inflation, debt), armed conflict and insufficient coping ability of a nation or state to manage, absorb or recover from these pressures due to weak institutions, poor infrastructure, or lack of resources. The agenda for ECOFIN for RBS MUN 2025 is “Addressing economic fragility in conflict affected regions” this agenda analyses the destruction caused by such conflict, how it has impacted the economy of that country/region and debates what is the best possible way to recover from the externality caused by the conflict. The impact of such conflict encompasses the destruction of infrastructure, disruption of trade, and collapse of economies of a region. The conference discusses the impact of sanctions, inflation, refugee and foreign investment, and currency devaluation on such fragile regions.

The Executive Board


Chair

Priya R. L Rana

Priya is what you call a ray of sunshine. She is the person you go to when you’re upset because just talking to her will uplift you. She is funny and lovable and makes you feel heard. It’s easy to talk to her about anything at all, so if you’re in her committee, just know she will be the most supportive and helpful person ever. But don’t let her sweet disposition fool you, when it comes to MUNs, Priya is a force to be reckoned with. She doesn’t have confidence; confidence has her. Making the points you’ve never even thought of, giving such great arguments that countering them is nearly impossible, Priya Rana knows what she’s doing. With her as your chair, you ahd better be well prepared, because she doesn’t expect anything less than 100% from all. But don’t worry, she will always be ready to help you reach your full potential as a delegate.

Vice-Chair

Aarya Marasini

Ask anyone what their first thoughts about Aarya were, and they'll tell you she looked like a walking, talking nerd. With her head up in the clouds and her nose stuck in a book, it's easy to write her off as just another geek. But don't be fooled. Underneath that quiet exterior lies a girl who's ungodly loud, incredibly witty, extremely passionate, and a bit feisty. One second, she'll be blathering away about her favorite TV shows and then dragging you into a deep dive into complex social issues. The next second, she’ll be forcing you to think about things from a whole new perspective. She'll fight you to death on things she believes in, but she's not afraid to seriously rethink her beliefs if you make a good point. With a sharp eye for nuances that most people miss, she will fish out flaws in even the most clear-cut of arguments. She loves giving feedback as much as she loves receiving it and is always ready to help others and improve her own skills. With her as your vice-chair, rest assured that you'll walk out of ECONFIN twice as strong a delegate as you were when you walked in.
