Capital Market Will Not Remain Limited to Stock Trading: SEBON Chairman Bhatta
During the event, Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI) President Birendra Raj Pandey remarked that the capital market should not be judged solely by NEPSE index fluctuations, but recognized as a vital pillar of overall economic transformation.

Meanwhile, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Executive Director G. Ram Mohan Rao noted that Nepal's capital market is entering a new phase, 'Capital Market 2.0', and called for a 10-year strategic plan to attract foreign investors and Non-Resident Nepalis (NRNs).

Market on Edge: NEPSE Seeks Bottom as Corporate Giants Fuel Debt-Driven Expansion
Financial experts warn that injecting billions of borrowed rupees into a highly volatile stock market and illiquid, under-construction projects could backfire if the market fails to sustain a bullish run. While corporate groups are successfully leveraging their strong market presence and banking access, the lack of dedicated risk management frameworks and formal investment policies in these newly formed entities remains a critical concern. As NEPSE struggles to break its structural downtrend, this massive influx of debt-financed capital serves as a double-edged sword for Nepal's broader economic stability.

Massive Insurance Claims Exceed Rs 25.8 Billion Following Bhote Koshi Floods; Finance Minister Directs Prompt Settlement
To manage the high volume of claims efficiently, authorities have decided to implement a fast-track payment system for smaller claims. For major infrastructure and hydropower projects where full damage assessments will take time, an appropriate advance payment (advance payout) mechanism will be arranged to maintain cash flow for the affected businesses. Additionally, the Insurance Authority will automate surveyor deployment to ensure transparency and has established a special task force to monitor daily claim settlements.

PM Relief Fund Reaches Over Rs 6.3 Billion; Rs 65 Million Additional Grant Disbursed to 15 Local Bodies
Local governments are strictly mandated to utilize these grants for essential post-disaster services rather than arbitrary expenditures. The budget must be channeled into restoring disrupted critical infrastructure—such as roads, drinking water, communication, and electricity—along with repairing damaged schools and health posts. Furthermore, the funds are designated for constructing temporary shelters and distributing immediate relief packages to displaced families.

From Warning to Catastrophe: Climate Crisis Wreaks Havoc in Nepal's Himalayas
While the crisis deepens, the Nepal government has introduced ambitious policy measures. Through its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0), the government aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26.8% and boost renewable energy capacity to 28,500 MW by 2035. The state has also proposed multi-hazard early warning systems and integrated watershed management. However, stakeholders and climate activists warn that global pledges and national policies are no longer enough. To save lives from escalating climate disasters, these commitments must be urgently and effectively implemented at the grassroots level.
