Time to tax smartphones

Going by the import numbers, one in four Bhutanese bought a new smartphone in 2024—or did they? Smartphone imports spiked to Nu 2.72 billion in 2024, a sharp increase from Nu 2.2 billion in 2023. This jump pushed smartphones to the fifth-highest imported commodity, up from eighth place the previous year, according to Bhutan Trade Statistics.
