Nepal's Capital Market at a Crossroads: Three Decades of Growth, Yet Fundamental Weaknesses Persist
The underlying message running through the commission's findings is difficult to ignore. Nepal's capital market has the potential to become a powerful engine for channeling domestic savings into productive investment, reducing the economy's dependence on bank lending, and giving ordinary citizens a meaningful stake in the country's corporate growth. But that potential is being squandered. Until the government treats regulatory independence, market diversification and investor protection as genuine priorities rather than items on a reform checklist, Nepal's stock market will remain what it largely is today — a speculative arena shaped more by rumor and manipulation than by economic fundamentals.

Nepal Needs 10,000 EV Chargers by 2030 — a Tenfold Leap That Will Decide Its Hydropower Bet
The opportunities the study sets out are genuine — lower operating costs and job creation, cleaner air, modernized public transport and fewer road accidents, more efficient urban mobility and added appeal for tourists. But each of them is contingent on closing the same gaps: the chargers, the standards, the financing and the skills. Whether Nepal can turn 1,000 stations into 10,000 is, in the end, the test that will decide whether the rest of the promise is realized.

From Insurance Vaults to the Trading Floor: 59 to Face Charges as Insurers' Billions Allegedly Fueled Private Share Deals
It is under sections 140 and 141 of that Act that the CIB has recommended prosecution — for misappropriation of insurance funds, insider trading and price manipulation in the securities market — seeking maximum imprisonment, fines and confiscation of the established bigo. For now, these remain charges yet to be tested. Several of the names belong to prominent figures in Nepal's business establishment, and the real measure of the case will be whether it holds up in court against well-resourced defendants — with the presumption of innocence intact until it does.
