Why it matters
The flooding in Nepal causing nearly 1,000 missing persons and knocking 10% of the country's hydropower capacity offline is a significant regional infrastructure disruption with potential credit and operational impacts on local utilities and power markets, but it is primarily a humanitarian and local infrastructure event with limited direct systemic or global credit-market implications.
