Kathmandu: The government has announced plans to restructure Nepal’s securities regulatory framework, including the country’s stock exchange and share settlement systems, as part of broader capital market reforms.
Presenting the government’s policy and program in the joint session of the Federal Parliament on Monday, President Ram Chandra Paudel said the government would move ahead with restructuring the securities regulatory body, Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) and CDS and Clearing Limited (CDSC).
The government also announced plans to expand the participation of institutional investors in Nepal’s capital market. According to the policy, pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds and non-resident Nepalis (NRNs) will be encouraged to increase their involvement in the securities market.
The reforms are aimed at strengthening market infrastructure, improving governance and increasing long-term investment participation in Nepal’s financial sector.
