सरकारद्वारा नेप्से पुनःसंरचना प्रक्रिया सुरु, उच्चस्तरीय सुझाव समिति गठनGovernment Initiates Restructuring of Nepal Stock Exchange; High-Level Committee Formed
नेपाल सरकारले नेपाल स्टक एक्स्चेन्ज लिमिटेड (नेप्से) को संरचना, प्रणाली र सञ्चालनमा व्यापक सुधार गर्ने उद्देश्यसहित पुनःसंरचना प्रक्रिया औपचारिक रूपमा सुरु गरेको छ। यो कदम लामो समयदेखि उठ्दै आएको सेयर बजार सुधारको माग, बजार विस्तार, प्राविधिक मजबूतीकरण र नियमनसम्बन्धी कमजोरीलाई सम्बोधन गर्ने दिशामा महत्वपूर्ण मानिन्छ।
मंगलबार सिंहदरबारमा बसेको मन्त्रिपरिषद्को बैठकले नेप्सेलाई आधुनिक, पारदर्शी र प्रतिस्पर्धी बनाउने लक्ष्यसहित प्रकाशजंग केसीको नेतृत्वमा उच्चस्तरीय अध्ययन तथा सुझाव समिति गठन गरेको हो। सरकारले एसियाली तथा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय स्टक एक्स्चेन्जहरूको अभ्यासलाई ध्यानमा राख्दै नेप्सेको हालको सञ्चालन शैलीमा संरचनागत परिवर्तन आवश्यक ठहर गरेको बताइएको छ।
सरकारका अनुसार समितिले नेप्सेको संस्थागत स्वरूप, सञ्चालन क्षमता, सरकारी स्वामित्व मोडेल, तथा नेपालका लागि उपयुक्त सेयर बाजार शासन प्रणाली कस्तो हुनुपर्छ भन्नेबारे अध्ययन गर्नेछ। साथै, अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय अनुभव र आधुनिक प्रविधि–आधारित ट्रेडिङ प्रणालीको आधारमा नेप्सेको पुनःनिर्माण सम्भावनाबारे विस्तृत प्रतिवेदन तयार पार्नेछ।
नेप्से सुधार सम्बन्धी यो पहलले बजारमा देखिएका संरचनागत कमजोरी, नियमनको प्रभावकारिता, सूचीकरण प्रक्रियामा देखिएका चुनौती, र ट्रेडिङ प्रणालीको प्राविधिक सीमालाई सम्बोधन गर्ने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ। समिति गठनसँगै सेयर बजार सुधारलाई अब नीति–स्तरमा गम्भीर रूपमा अघि बढाइएको सरकारको धारणा छ।
The Government of Nepal has officially initiated the process of restructuring the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), aiming to modernize its structure, strengthen its operational framework, and enhance transparency and competitiveness. The move is seen as a significant step toward addressing long-standing demands for stock market reform and improving the overall governance of the capital market.
According to the decision made during the Cabinet meeting held on Tuesday at Singha Durbar, the government has formed a high-level study and recommendation committee under the leadership of Prajanjung KC. The committee has been tasked with reviewing NEPSE’s current structure, operational systems, regulatory effectiveness, and institutional efficiency. The government stated that the initiative follows increasing calls for restructuring NEPSE, expanding the market, integrating new technologies, and strengthening regulatory and managerial frameworks.
With the formation of the committee, a comprehensive study will now begin, focusing on NEPSE’s institutional model, technical capacity, ownership structure, and governance system. The committee will also examine possibilities for restructuring NEPSE in line with international best practices, regional stock exchange models, and modern technological standards used in global capital markets.
The government believes that this restructuring effort could help overcome the structural weaknesses seen in the Nepali stock market, including operational delays, regulatory gaps, outdated trading systems, and limited innovation. The initiative also aims to create a more investor-friendly ecosystem and prepare NEPSE for future market expansions, including broader product offerings and digital integration.
Officials said that once the study is completed, the committee will submit a detailed report outlining recommendations for NEPSE’s long-term institutional reform. This is expected to set the foundation for a modern, transparent, and competitive capital market in Nepal, aligning it with global standards and improving investor confidence.
