Nepal’s nominal GDP has shown consistent growth over six fiscal years, increasing from Rs. 3,888.7 billion in FY 2019/20 to a projected Rs. 6,107.2 billion in FY 2024/25. Despite the pandemic in FY 2020/21, GDP rose steadily each year, indicating resilience and gradual economic recovery. The average annual increase is around Rs. 443 billion, driven by remittance, government spending, and recovery in trade and services. The radar chart clearly visualizes this upward economic momentum.

AI in Stock Trading: Nepal’s Cautious Steps Toward a Global Financial Revolution
AI in Stock Trading: Nepal’s Cautious Steps Toward a Global Financial Revolution AI in Stock Trading: Nepal’s Cautious Steps Toward a Global Financial Revolution Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the global financial and capital markets. From executing trades in milliseconds to predicting market trends, AI has become an indispensable tool in high-speed, high-volume trading environments. In developed markets, AI-driven systems analyze vast amounts of data, including price movements, news sentiment, and economic indicators, to make accurate and timely decisions that far outperform human capabilities. One of the most popular applications of AI in the financial world is algorithmic trading. These systems follow predefined rules—such as price, volume, and market trend—to automatically buy or sell stocks. This automation enables traders, especially day traders and institutional investors, to execute thousands of trades with precision and speed. Machine learning models, a subset of AI, can also identify historical patterns and forecast future price movements based on large datasets.

Foreign IT Companies’ Tax Jumps Over 7-Fold in Nepal,– Mixed Signals in Nepal's 11-Month Tax Performance
Foreign IT Companies’ Tax Jumps Over 7-Fold in Nepal,– Mixed Signals in Nepal's 11-Month Tax Performance Nepal’s tax authority has recorded a striking 7.2-fold surge in the collection of Digital Service Tax (DST) from global IT giants such as Meta, X (formerly Twitter), Netflix, Google, and TikTok. According to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD), Nepal collected NPR 49 million in DST during the first 11 months of the fiscal year 2081/82 (2024/25), compared to only NPR 6.8 million during the same period last year. This massive leap is attributed to stricter enforcement of the Electronic Services Tax Procedure 2079, which mandates registration and tax compliance from foreign digital service providers operating in Nepal. The growing compliance by major international platforms, in response to Nepal’s new regulatory push, has translated into stronger revenue performance in the digital domain.

Nepal’s Public Debt Soars to NPR 2.65 Trillion: Rising External Borrowing Threatens Sustainable Development Goals Nepal's public debt has reached an alarming NPR 2.65 trillion (26 kharba 54 arba), with foreign loans alone accounting for nearly NPR 1.4 trillion (13 kharba 82 arba), raising concerns over the country’s ability to meet its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. This data, published by Nepal’s Public Debt Management Office as of the end of Jestha (11 months into FY 2081/82), reveals a sharp rise in debt burden — both domestic and external — which now constitutes 43.47% of the country’s GDP.

Media Trapping in Nepal’s Stock Market: A Growing Threat to Retail Investors
Media Trapping in Nepal’s Stock Market: A Growing Threat to Retail Investors In recent times, the term “media trapping” has become increasingly popular in Nepal’s stock market landscape. This refers to the act of influencing investor psychology through selective, misleading, or false information published via online media, newspapers, and social platforms. The intention behind such manipulation is to create artificial hype or fear to benefit a specific person, group, or institution by driving stock prices up or down. The method is calculated and strategic. When someone wants to inflate the price of a certain stock, they often circulate exaggerated or fake news—such as upcoming dividends, mergers, or expansion plans—across YouTube, Facebook, Viber groups, or news portals. These reports are rarely based on official disclosures or verified data. As ordinary investors begin buying, the stock price rises unnaturally. The manipulators then sell off their holdings at a profit. After that, the same channels may release negative news to spark panic and drive the price back down, leaving retail investors trapped in loss.

Why Every Investor Must Stay Informed — Lessons from a Financial Literacy Workshop
In a recent financial literacy training session, a participant raised a thought-provoking question that resonates with many long-term investors: "I am a long-term investor. Once I purchase a stock, I hold it for at least five years. I don’t actively trade or switch companies often like traders do. So why should I frequently check financial news or company updates?" This question opened the floor for a broader discussion. Before the session had officially begun, another participant had informally shared with the trainer that he had once lost NPR 100,000 because he was unaware of a rights offering by an insurance company. As a result, he missed the application window. "Maybe the stock market isn’t for me," he said, expressing his frustration over the incident.
