GenZ Movement Demands Probe Into Sudden Wealth Accumulation Among Senior Bureaucrats
GenZ Movement Demands Probe Into Sudden Wealth Accumulation Among Senior Bureaucrats The GenZ movement, which has emerged as a prominent civic force calling for accountability and systemic reforms in Nepal, has intensified its campaign by demanding a high-level investigation into government officials who have allegedly amassed unexplained wealth over the years. Activists argue that focusing solely on political leadership will not bring structural change unless the bureaucratic roots of corruption are addressed simultaneously.

Nepal’s Public Debt Reaches 44.61% of GDP as Government Faces Mounting Fiscal Pressure
Nepal’s Public Debt Reaches 44.61% of GDP as Government Faces Mounting Fiscal Pressure Nepal’s public debt burden has reached a critical level, raising concerns about the government’s ability to manage rising liabilities amid weakening revenue performance and declining economic productivity. According to the latest records, the country’s public debt obligation reached Rs 27.24 trillion as of the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2082/83 — an amount equivalent to 44.61 percent of the national GDP. Of the total debt, Rs 12.78 trillion (20.93 percent of GDP) is domestic borrowing, while Rs 14.46 trillion (23.69 percent of GDP) falls under external debt. The figures indicate that the share of foreign debt is growing faster than domestic borrowing, placing Nepal in an increasingly vulnerable fiscal position.

Dividend Season Sparks Renewed Debate in Nepali Share Market
Dividend Season Sparks Renewed Debate in Nepali Share Market As the annual dividend declaration period begins in Nepal’s capital market, discussions among investors have intensified over which option provides better long-term value — cash dividends or bonus shares. With companies listed on NEPSE starting to announce their returns for Fiscal Year 2081/82, the topic has once again taken center stage among market participants. Many companies have already published their proposed payouts, while others are expected to follow in the coming weeks. Some have opted for only cash dividends, some for bonus shares, and a few have announced a combination of both. Yet, the attraction of a large segment of general investors continues to lean toward bonus shares, mainly due to the belief that receiving additional units strengthens long-term holdings.

NRB Set to Release Monetary Policy Review as Liquidity Surge, Weak Credit Demand and Jen-Z Movement Shape Economic Outlook
NRB Set to Release Monetary Policy Review as Liquidity Surge, Weak Credit Demand and Jen-Z Movement Shape Economic Outlook As Nepal’s financial system grapples with rising liquidity pressure and sluggish loan demand, the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) is preparing to unveil the first-quarter review of the current fiscal year’s monetary policy by Mangsir 15. With several economic indicators flashing concern, the forthcoming review is expected to address structural imbalances and restore market confidence. In recent months, the banking sector has accumulated excess liquidity far beyond what the credit market can absorb. Although deposits have surged steadily, lending growth has not kept pace—with businesses holding back on expansion plans and consumer demand remaining subdued. Analysts suggest that this mismatch has now become one of the central bank’s biggest operational challenges. If unresolved, it risks distorting interest rate signals and weakening financial discipline across the system.

Proposed SEBON Margin Trading Directive Raises Serious Concerns; Experts Warn of Structural Risks for Investors
Proposed SEBON Margin Trading Directive Raises Serious Concerns; Experts Warn of Structural Risks for Investors The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has drafted a new margin trading directive aimed at tightening oversight of leveraged trading and strengthening brokerage risk controls. While the draft appears, at first glance, to introduce discipline in the market, analysts caution that several provisions—especially those related to collateral valuation and forced liquidation—could unintentionally harm ordinary investors. Market experts argue that without careful revision, the directive may undermine confidence at a time when the stock market is already struggling with weak liquidity and fragile sentiment.

Nepal Adds Rs 55.36 Billion in New Public Debt in Four Months, Debt Servicing Now Outpaces Borrowing
Nepal Adds Rs 55.36 Billion in New Public Debt in Four Months, Debt Servicing Now Outpaces Borrowing Nepal’s public debt burden continued to rise in the first four months of the ongoing fiscal year 2082/83, with the government adding Rs 55.36 billion in new liabilities between Shrawan 1 and Kartik-end. According to the Public Debt Management Office (PDMO), the country’s total public debt has now climbed to Rs 27.29 trillion, accounting for 44.69 percent of the projected national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The National Statistics Office estimates that Nepal’s GDP will reach Rs 6.17 trillion this year. The data suggests that while Nepal’s debt-to-GDP ratio has not yet crossed globally dangerous thresholds, the rate at which debt is accumulating—and more importantly, the pace at which debt must be serviced—has become an increasingly significant macroeconomic concern for the nation.

State Bears Full Burden as Uninsured Government Properties Suffer Repeated Destruction
State Bears Full Burden as Uninsured Government Properties Suffer Repeated Destruction Nepal’s failure to insure government-owned buildings and public infrastructure has once again forced the state to shoulder the entire financial responsibility for reconstruction after widespread destruction during recent political unrest. The pattern of losses—first during the arson and vandalism incidents in late March last year and again during the Genji movement in Bhadra—has exposed a systemic negligence in the management of state assets, leaving taxpayers to bear billions in avoidable costs.
