अर्थ मन्त्रालयद्वारा नेप्से पुनर्संरचना प्रतिवेदन कार्यान्वयन अन्तिम चरणमाFinance Ministry Moves NEPSE Restructuring Report Toward Final Implementation Stage

The Ministry of Finance has reached the final stage of implementing the “Study Report on the Restructuring of Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), 2082,” aimed at strengthening and modernizing Nepal’s capital market. The ministry is preparing to forward the report along with detailed action plans to the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON), Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), CDS and Clearing Limited (CDSC), and Nepal Rastra Bank. The report clearly outlines responsibilities and timelines for each institution, including increasing NEPSE’s paid-up capital to Rs 3 billion, introducing an international strategic partner, launching new financial instruments such as ETFs and derivatives, and implementing real-time market surveillance and upgraded technical infrastructure. SEBON will be responsible for regulatory reforms, introducing frameworks for intraday trading and short selling, and deploying AI-based monitoring systems, while CDSC will focus on improving clearing and settlement mechanisms, studying the establishment of a Central Counterparty, and strengthening real-time integration between banks and the TMS system. Nepal Rastra Bank will facilitate real-time data connectivity between banking systems and the stock market and coordinate policy improvements related to margin lending. The Ministry of Finance will oversee coordination, monitoring, and policy facilitation throughout the restructuring process. The government expects the implementation of the report to transform Nepal’s securities market into a more reliable, secure, and internationally competitive system.
