Building Your Own Financial Plan: A Complete Guide
Building Your Own Financial Plan: A Complete Guide About the Author : Dipesh Ghimire, a journalist focused on Nepal’s economy, has over 15 years of experience in the share market. Managing money wisely has become one of the most important skills in today’s unpredictable world. A financial plan is essentially your personal roadmap that shows how to balance spending, saving, debt repayment, and investments in order to meet both immediate needs and long-term ambitions. Unlike a simple budget or a list of numbers, a financial plan connects your current reality with your future goals. Whether you’re a student just starting to earn, a salaried professional, or even running a small business, the steps remain surprisingly similar.

Hydropower IPO Deadlock Threatens Private Sector Investment
Article By : Dipesh Ghimire Hydropower IPO Deadlock Threatens Private Sector Investment Kathmandu – Hydropower projects in Nepal, once considered secure for private investors, are now facing an unprecedented financial bottleneck. For years, promoters, banks, and the general public all contributed to project financing: promoters injected equity, banks provided loans, and locals participated through IPOs. Projects generally raised funds, though delays and construction risks were common. But recently, policy hurdles and regulatory indecision have made IPO approval—the final step of financing—far more uncertain. The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has withheld IPO clearance for dozens of hydropower companies, leaving project developers stuck and local investors frustrated.

NRB Revises Concessional Loan Rules, Borrower Details to Go Public
NRB Revises Concessional Loan Rules, Borrower Details to Go Public Nepal Rastra Bank has rolled out sweeping changes in the concessional loan regime, directing banks and financial institutions to publish the names of beneficiaries every quarter. The central bank’s new instruction, issued through amendments to the Unified Directives, is aimed at increasing transparency and ensuring that concessional loans reach their intended sectors. Under the new rule, banks must post borrower lists separately for those who received loans under the earlier 2018 (2075 BS) framework and those who fall under the newly revised 2025 (2082 BS) procedure. These lists must be made public on the institutions’ official websites every three months. The central bank also clarified that the government will reimburse interest subsidies, which will be treated as zero risk-weight assets while calculating banks’ capital adequacy ratios.
