NEPSE Loses Its Usual Mid-Year Momentum as Liquidity Fails to Reach the Market
The question is no longer simply whether listed companies will report better profits or announce dividends. The more important question is whether investors will believe those improvements are strong enough — and durable enough — to justify putting fresh money back into the market.

Nepal’s Banks Are Flush With Money, but Credit Is Not Following

Nepal’s Digital Payments Surge, but Weak KYC and Cyber Controls Raise Risks
For Nepal’s payment industry, the next phase of digital growth will therefore depend not merely on adding more wallet users or recording higher QR transactions. Trust, verifiable customer identity, protection of customer funds, cyber resilience and effective internal controls are becoming just as important as transaction growth. The NRB report suggests that unless these foundations improve alongside adoption, the success of Nepal’s digital-payment expansion could itself magnify the consequences of regulatory and operational weaknesses.

Upper Mailung Khola Turns Profitable as Power Sales Rise and Finance Costs Ease
The principal weakness remains the thin reserve position and net worth only slightly above face value. MMKJL has therefore demonstrated that it can generate profit; the next challenge is to demonstrate that it can sustain those earnings, reduce financial pressure further and convert annual profits into a stronger balance sheet over several consecutive years.

SEBON Charts Five-Year Reform Path for Nepal’s IPO Market, but Execution Will Decide the Outcome
For SEBON, the challenge over the next five years will therefore be less about announcing additional reforms and more about sequencing them correctly. Market-based pricing should follow stronger disclosure and due diligence, institutional investors should be subject to transparent governance rules, and digitalisation should be accompanied by stronger supervision. The success of the 2035 vision will ultimately be measured not by how many new mechanisms Nepal introduces, but by whether investors can trust the information, pricing and institutions behind every public issue.
