Government to Prepare a Joint Report by Combining RDNA and World Bank Studies on Bhote Koshi Flood Damages
Once the final details of the disaster damages are ready, the government will base its plans for immediate relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction on them. This report will also serve as the foundation for determining the scale of investment required for reconstruction and for mobilizing resources. After finalizing the exact state of damage and required funds, the government intends to coordinate with development partners and friendly nations for assistance. While initial estimates showed severe economic damage, exact sectoral impacts and reconstruction costs will only become clear following this joint report.

Excess Liquidity in the Banking Sector: Government Raises Domestic Debt at Cheaper Interest Rates
The government aims to raise a total of Rs 410 billion in domestic debt this fiscal year, including an issuance of Rs 10 billion through 'Development Bond-2088' on Bhadra 24. While the government increasingly relies on domestic borrowing to bridge the budget deficit, the country's total public debt has already reached Rs 2.97 trillion (45.10% of the GDP). Stakeholders warn that with sluggish revenue collection and public debt obligations nearing the Rs 3 trillion mark, managing principal and interest repayments will become a major challenge for the government in the coming days.

CNI President Pandey Urges Developing Capital Market as an Engine for Economic Growth
Birendra Raj Pandey : Acknowledging the significant strides the capital market has made over the past decade, Pandey noted that the opening of over 7.5 million Demat accounts and the market capitalization reaching 66 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are highly positive indicators. However, he cautioned against measuring market development solely by the rise in the NEPSE index. Instead, he stressed that the true impact of a growing capital market must be reflected in the real economy through tangible industrialization, investment, and job creation.

NCC President Agrawal Stresses Shifting Economy Towards 'Market-Based Financing'
Expressing dissatisfaction with past policy flaws that fueled speculative trends in the Nepali stock market, Agrawal highlighted the confusion caused by the 'Double ISIN' system (separate pricing for promoter and public shares), which created price discrepancies of up to 50 percent for shares of the exact same company. Welcoming the Securities Board of Nepal's (SEBON) ongoing preparation to implement a single ISIN system, he stressed the need for a transparent environment where share prices are determined strictly by a company's actual management capacity and future returns.
