Former Governors Warn Against Political Interference in Nepal Rastra Bank, Stress Central Bank Autonomy
Economists say the discussion reflects a broader policy tension in Nepal’s financial governance — between maintaining institutional independence and responding to government-led development priorities.

Capital Market Fails to Share Government’s 100-Day Optimism
For now, the message from investors is clear: the market is waiting not for more promises, but for decisions that can restore trust.

Nepal Moves to Create Powerful Economic Crime Authority, Passes Anti-Money Laundering Bill
The risks are equally real. Concentrating this much investigative power in a single institution creates a correspondingly powerful instrument that would require robust checks against the exact political weaponisation that Wagle herself described as the pre-existing problem. The challenge for Nepal's policymakers is to design an institution that is powerful enough to be effective against sophisticated financial crime while being structurally insulated from the political pressures that corrupted its predecessors. Whether the government's institutional design proposals will meet that challenge is a question that Thursday's parliamentary session raised without fully answering — and one that will define the credibility of Nepal's second-generation financial reform agenda in the months ahead.

Nepal's Finance Minister at 100 Days: Legal Reforms Underway, But the Economy Isn't Feeling It Yet
Whether that formal will translates into the kind of genuine institutional change that FATF assessors will find convincing — and whether the broader economic reform agenda produces results that Nepali citizens will find convincing — are the twin tests that Finance Minister Wagle now faces as her hundred-day honeymoon period formally ends and the harder work of accountability begins.

Nepal's Top Business Body Calls for Structural Banking Overhaul, Warns Rate Cuts Alone Cannot Revive Economy
This is a higher and more demanding standard than central banks typically accept for their own performance. But it is the standard that the productive economy requires. The question now is whether Nepal Rastra Bank's upcoming monetary policy will engage with the structural arguments the federation has raised — or whether it will once again reach for the familiar instrument of rate adjustment and hope that this time the result will be different.

One Hundred Days of Balendra Shah: Reform, Controversy, and the Weight of a Generation's Expectations
The citizens who handed RSP its historic mandate were not asking for a more energetic version of the same governance they had rejected. They were asking for governance that was fundamentally different in its relationship to ordinary people — more responsive, more honest, more humane. On that deeper test, the first hundred days have offered promising gestures rather than confirmed transformation. The next hundred days will matter more.

Gold Surges to Near-Record Highs in Nepal as Global Safe Haven Demand Intensifies
For Nepali households watching the gold price with a mixture of anxiety and fascination, the fundamental reality is that their market is now deeply integrated into a global system of financial signals they did not create and cannot control. When investors in New York decide that geopolitical risk has risen, and when central banks in Beijing decide to add another tranche of gold to their reserves, the price at the jewelry shop in Indrachowk moves accordingly. Understanding that connection — and the forces driving it — is the only basis for making informed decisions about when to buy, when to wait, and when gold's glitter reflects genuine value rather than temporary fear.

Nepal's Microfinance Sector on the Brink: Capital Crisis Forces Rush to Rights Shares
For now, Nepal's microfinance sector stands at an inflection point — between a managed recapitalization that could stabilize the industry and a disorderly deterioration that could undermine financial access for millions of low-income households who depend on it. The decisions made by regulators and institutions in the coming months will determine which path prevails.
