गभर्नर नियुक्तिका लागि सिफारिस समिति सक्रिय, आज बैठक बस्दैGovernor Recommendation Committee to Meet Today; Appointment Process Gains Momentum
काठमाडौं — नेपाल राष्ट्र बैंकको रिक्त गभर्नर पदमा नियुक्ति प्रक्रिया अगाडि बढाउने तयारीस्वरूप अर्थमन्त्री तथा उपप्रधानमन्त्री विष्णु पौडेलले सिफारिस समिति बैठक आह्वान गरेका छन्। यो उनको संयोजकत्वमा पहिलो पटक समिति बैठक बोलाइएको हो।
अर्थमन्त्रीको सचिवालयका अनुसार बैठक आज अपराह्न ४ बजेपछि बस्नेछ। उक्त समितिमा पूर्वगभर्नर महाप्रसाद अधिकारी र अर्थविद् पोषराज पाण्डे सदस्यको रूपमा सहभागी छन्।
बैठक बोलिनु अघि प्रधानमन्त्री केपी शर्मा ओली, नेपाली कांग्रेसका सभापति शेरबहादुर देउवा, अर्थमन्त्री पौडेल र गृहमन्त्री रमेश लेखकबीच पछिल्लो दिन बालुवाटारमा गभर्नर नियुक्तिसम्बन्धी कुराकानी भएको थियो।
हाल गभर्नर पद चैत २४ गतेदेखि खाली रहेको छ। त्यसयता डेपुटी गभर्नर नीलम ढुंगाना कार्यवाहक गभर्नरको भूमिकामा रहेका छन्।
गभर्नर नियुक्तिमा कांग्रेस सभापति देउवाले अर्थविद् प्रा.डा. विश्व पौडेलको नाम सिफारिस गरिसकेको चर्चा छ। अब समिति बैठकले उक्त सिफारिसबारे निर्णय लिने सम्भावना छ।
Kathmandu — In a significant step toward appointing the new Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel has convened a meeting of the Governor Recommendation Committee. This marks the first time Minister Paudel has called a meeting in his capacity as the committee’s chairperson.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the meeting is scheduled for today at 4 PM. The committee includes former NRB Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari and economist Dr. Poshraj Pandey as members.
The move follows recent high-level discussions in Baluwatar involving Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, Finance Minister Paudel, and Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak. The meeting focused on finalizing the appointment of the new central bank governor.
The position has remained vacant since Chaitra 24 (early April), with Deputy Governor Neelam Dhungana currently serving as the acting governor.
Sources indicate that Congress President Deuba has proposed the name of economist Dr. Bishwo Paudel for the role. The committee is now expected to deliberate on the proposed name and make a formal recommendation to the cabinet in the coming days.
