The Public Enterprises Board (PEB) on Thursday said it had presented the government with the names of Dr Danda Pani Poudel, Bishwo Raj Kandel and Dr Shiva Hari Shrestha as the short-listed candidates for the post of the general manager at the Deposit and Credit Guarantee Corporation.

Dr Poudel, a former high-ranking official at Nepal Rastra Bank, had previously served as an economic advisor at the Ministry of Finance.
Kandel, meanwhile, is a former division-chief of Nepal Bank Ltd, while Dr Shrestha is a former general manager of Beema Sansthan, a state-owned insurance company.

“The names of all three candidates have been forwarded to the government from which one will be selected for the post of GM,” a high-ranking PEB official told Republica.

The three names were short-listed from among 10 candidates who had filed applications for the post of DCGC´s GM, which has remained vacant since the retirement of Bhola Prasad Sharma Adhikari a few months ago.

The DCGC currently insures deposits of up to Rs 200,000 parked at various banks and financial institutions.
