New Policy Moves to Revive NEPSE: 'Share Buybacks' and 'Stock Splits' on the Horizon
Looking Ahead Ultimately, while buybacks shrink the market supply of a stock and splits expand the sheer volume of shares, both tools share a singular objective: to boost investor sentiment and increase market dynamism. The spotlight now shifts to SEBON and how meticulously it designs the guidelines to ensure transparency and prevent corporate misuse.

AI is No Longer Just an Assistant: Anthropic Report Unveils Alarming Cyber Security Threats
Anthropic clarifies that AI has not gone rogue on its own; rather, it has amplified human malicious intent, making cybercrimes drastically faster, cheaper, and more scalable. Future cybersecurity battles will fundamentally be fought as "AI versus AI." This escalating threat landscape has intensified global calls for stricter international regulations and oversight on advanced AI development.

Shock After Bhotekoshi Floods: A New '6-Point Safety Doctrine' to be Implemented in Development Projects
However, formulating policies in Nepal has always been much easier than implementing them honestly. Will the appointment of 'safety officers' remain restricted to paper? Will contractors sincerely abide by the '30-day ration' rule? The real test will take place right at the project sites. If this concept is implemented to the letter, Nepal's hydropower projects are bound to transform from mere 'energy-generating machines' into stellar international models of 'safe workplaces'.

Relief for a Battered Energy Grid: India Clears Path for 654 MW Daily Electricity Import to Nepal
However, this event brings a harsh reality to the surface: it exposes how fragile Nepal's energy system remains in the face of natural disasters and how heavily reliant the country still is on emergency imports. For the NEA, the ultimate and most pressing challenge now is to complete the reconstruction and maintenance of its damaged domestic infrastructure as swiftly as possible.

Brokers' Aggressive Preparation: 12 Companies Get Rated for 18 Billion
Overall, the fact that broker companies have acquired credit ratings for Rs. 18 billion is a massive leap for the institutional development of the Nepali stock market. This will end the investors' compulsion to rely on banks in the future. However, until the Nepal Rastra Bank's overall monetary policy, the upcoming steps of the Securities Board, and the broader macroeconomic indicators become positive, investor morale will not be uplifted. Until morale improves, it is certain that this billion-rupee 'booster dose' prepared by the brokers will remain unused and frozen in the market.

Government’s 21-Point ‘Booster Dose’ to Uplift the Stock Market: Capital Gains Tax Reduced, Intraday and Short Selling to be Introduced
Will these agencies set aside their egos and interests to work on a war footing? Will the parliament amend the Acts on time? Investors are currently waiting for the answers to these very questions. In terms of policy, the government has prepared every foundation to make the market ‘bullish’; now it is time for honest implementation. The general investors' expectation is that this document succeeds in becoming a ‘turning point’ for the reform of the stock market.

NRB's 'Paradigm Shift': Flood, Cyber, and AI Risks Now to be Tested in Bank Balance Sheets
Overall, it appears that the NRB has prioritized the long-term stability of the entire banking system over momentary profits and operating costs. This new guideline steers the Nepali banking sector away from the traditional reactive approach of dealing with a crisis after it occurs, moving towards the international standard of proactive risk mitigation. This step is certain to prove a significant milestone in banking history for improving credit quality and safely navigating changing technologies.

Flood Aftermath Hits Financial Sector: Hydropower and Insurance Companies Under 'Rating Watch'
Ultimately, a single natural disaster in Rasuwa has sent shockwaves through Nepal's interconnected economic cycle, seamlessly moving from the energy sector to insurance and banking. The true extent of the financial toll will now depend heavily on the pace of infrastructure reconstruction, the efficiency of insurance claim settlements, and the overall trajectory of loan recovery in the coming months.

Trade Surges at Korala Border: Rs 1.78 Billion Revenue Collected in Just 15 Days
Historically, the Korala pass at Lo Manthang-4 was open year-round strictly for the local residents of Upper Mustang. However, the government officially designated it as an alternative commercial trade route in September last year after similar weather-induced road blockades crippled the Tatopani and Rasuwagadhi checkpoints. In the last fiscal year, the Mustang customs point recorded imports worth Rs 14.41 billion and exports worth Rs 205 million, generating Rs 6.92 billion in total revenue while clearing 3,223 EVs and 1,873 containers.

44% of Demat Account Holders Missing from the Secondary Market: The Paradox of Nepal’s Stock Exchange
For the sustainable development of the capital market, experts stress that regulatory bodies must shift their focus from celebrating account numbers to enhancing financial literacy. Transitioning this massive crowd of primary market participants into informed, active secondary market investors remains the most pressing challenge for Nepal's financial sector.
