Government Announces Expansion of Pension Funds and NRN Participation in Share Market

The government has announced plans to increase the participation of pension funds and Non-Resident Nepalis in Nepal’s Share market.

While presenting the policies and programmes for the fiscal year 2083/84, President Ramchandra Paudel announced that the participation of institutional investors, pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds, and Non-Resident Nepalis in the Share market would be further expanded.

The policy also aims to develop the capital market in a secure, competitive, and internationally standardized manner. The government has proposed restructuring securities regulation, the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), and the clearing system.

In addition, the policies and programmes emphasize the development of the debt market, bond market, and infrastructure bonds to support long-term capital formation.
