Impact on Interest Rates and Loans:

• Since the beginning of the current fiscal year 2081/82, the Nepal government has withdrawn NPR 490 billion from the market.

Rules for Deposits:

• Banks and financial institutions can bid for the total called amount, with a minimum deposit of NPR 10 million and a maximum of NPR 50 million, divided in a way that there are no remaining parts.

This liquidity management helps control the flow of money in the banking system and maintain economic stability. Banks are addressing the liquidity crisis by adjusting the interest rates on loans and deposits.
