Government Begins Returning Savings to Victims of Troubled Cooperatives, but Recovery Challenges Remain Deep
The latest refund process may help ease frustration among some small savers, but experts warn that restoring confidence will require deeper structural reforms. Stronger financial oversight, transparent auditing, tighter licensing standards, and faster legal action against operators accused of misusing public funds are increasingly being seen as necessary steps to prevent similar crises in the future. For now, the government faces the difficult task of balancing public expectations with financial reality. While the refund process has finally begun, the path toward recovering billions of rupees and rebuilding trust in Nepal’s cooperative sector is likely to remain long and politically sensitive.

Nepal’s Banking Sector Under Pressure as IMF-Backed Loan Review Reveals Rising Hidden Risks
Economists say the findings should serve as an early warning rather than a signal of panic. They argue that acknowledging hidden risks and addressing them through stronger supervision and transparent reporting is necessary for long-term financial stability. However, if economic recovery remains slow and business confidence continues to weaken, pressure on banks could intensify further in the coming quarters.

Trump Visits China Amid Rising Global Tensions
The central question now facing global markets and diplomats alike is whether the two powers can still find enough common ground to stabilize international tensions, or whether strategic rivalry will continue pushing the world toward deeper economic and political fragmentation.

Nepal Seeks to Delay LDC Graduation by Three Years
The debate surrounding Nepal’s LDC graduation has become less about meeting technical indicators and more about whether the country’s economy is structurally ready to stand without special international support. The coming months may therefore determine not only Nepal’s diplomatic position at the United Nations, but also the direction of its long-term economic strategy in an increasingly uncertain global environment.

India Raises Gold Import Duty to Ease Trade Pressure
India’s latest customs duty increase highlights the growing tension between consumer demand, external sector stability and inflation management in one of the world’s largest gold-consuming economies. Whether the policy successfully reduces imports without significantly disrupting domestic demand will likely become clearer over the next several quarters.

Excess Liquidity Pushes Nepal’s Interest Rates Lower
The latest central bank data suggest that Nepal’s financial system currently has money available, but lacks sufficient confidence and productive demand to absorb it efficiently. The coming months may therefore depend less on liquidity availability and more on whether the broader economy can regain enough momentum to convert cheap money into real investment and sustainable growth.

Budget Signals Nepal’s Push for Structural Economic Reform
The real test, however, will begin once the government formally presents its budget principles and priorities at the end of Baisakh, followed by the full budget announcement on Jestha 15. The broader economic debate now centers on whether the ambitious reforms signaled by Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle can realistically move beyond policy language and translate into practical execution within Nepal’s complex political and bureaucratic environment.

Retail Investors Are Gradually Reshaping Nepal’s Stock Market
Under current regulations of the Nepal Rastra Bank, banks and financial institutions can allocate up to 40 percent of their core capital toward share-backed lending. The continued expansion of margin financing suggests that the relationship between Nepal’s banking system and capital market is becoming increasingly interconnected. Analysts say that if interest rates continue to soften and investor sentiment improves in the coming months, the current wave of retail participation could eventually lay the foundation for a new market cycle.
