Market Enters a New Phase Amid Signals of Political Stability

Market Enters a New Phase Amid Signals of Political Stability Nepal’s secondary stock market appears to be gradually transitioning into a new phase as political uncertainty begins to ease and investor confidence shows signs of revival. After remaining under pressure for several months, the market has started to respond positively to evolving political clarity, with analysts noting that improving sentiment is now being reflected both in price action and technical indicators. The domestic equity market had been weighed down by prolonged ambiguity surrounding the election timeline and broader political direction. However, as major political parties intensify preparations for the upcoming polls, uncertainty has begun to subside. Market observers suggest that this clarity—rather than expectations of any particular electoral outcome—has played a key role in restoring confidence among short- to medium-term investors.

While Governments Struggle to Retain Youth, Nabil Bank Bets on Returnee Entrepreneurs

While Governments Struggle to Retain Youth, Nabil Bank Bets on Returnee Entrepreneurs Successive governments in Nepal have repeatedly spoken of bringing back migrant workers, even as they have failed to create conditions that prevent young people from leaving in the first place. Despite political promises, outward migration continues to rise, and the country has struggled not only to attract returnees but also to retain those still at home. Against this backdrop, a rare institutional initiative from the banking sector has begun to draw attention. Many Nepali youths who spend years working abroad express a desire to return home voluntarily. Some plan to come back permanently, while others seek to establish businesses in Nepal through family members while still employed overseas. However, such aspirations often collide with a lack of access to finance, unclear policies, and weak state support. For years, returnee migrants have largely depended on personal savings or informal borrowing to start economic activities.

Global Alcohol Consumption Falls to Historic Low, Shaking an $830 Billion Industry

Global Alcohol Consumption Falls to Historic Low, Shaking an $830 Billion Industry The global alcohol industry is facing one of its most profound disruptions in modern history as the number of people consuming alcohol continues to decline worldwide. What was once considered a recession-proof industry is now confronting structural change driven by shifting consumer behaviour, rising health awareness, and geopolitical pressures. Recent data indicate that the combined market value of major alcohol producers has shrunk by approximately $830 billion, underscoring the scale of the slowdown.

Private Investment in Nepal’s Energy Sector Crosses NPR 13 Trillion, Report Shows

Private Investment in Nepal’s Energy Sector Crosses NPR 13 Trillion, Report Shows Private sector investment in Nepal’s energy sector has reached NPR 13.10 trillion, highlighting the scale of private capital mobilised in hydropower and related infrastructure over the past decades. The figure comes from a special study conducted by the Independent Power Producers’ Association Nepal (IPPAN), marking the first time such a comprehensive assessment of private investment in the energy sector has been carried out. According to IPPAN, the study was undertaken to quantify how much capital the private sector has committed to Nepal’s power industry, an area traditionally viewed as high-risk due to long gestation periods, regulatory uncertainty and financing challenges. The findings, released on the occasion of IPPAN’s 26th anniversary, underscore the growing role of private developers in shaping the country’s energy landscape.

Central Bank Tightens Dividend Rules to Rein in Risk in Microfinance Sector

Central Bank Tightens Dividend Rules to Rein in Risk in Microfinance Sector Nepal’s central bank has introduced stricter rules on dividend distribution by licensed microfinance institutions, signalling a tougher regulatory stance amid rising concerns over asset quality and financial discipline in the sector. The move reflects growing unease over the ability of some microfinance institutions to balance shareholder returns with long-term stability, particularly as non-performing loans continue to rise. Under the revised framework issued by Nepal Rastra Bank, dividend eligibility will now be directly linked to two key indicators: the level of non-performing loans (NPLs) and the capital adequacy ratio maintained after dividend distribution. Regulators say this approach is intend

Rising Attacks on Banks Push Regulators, Police and Bankers into a United Security Front

Rising Attacks on Banks Push Regulators, Police and Bankers into a United Security Front A recent surge in attacks, robberies and harassment targeting banks and banking personnel has raised serious concerns about the safety of Nepal’s financial system, prompting regulators, law-enforcement agencies and bankers to coordinate their response. With incidents ranging from armed robbery to physical abuse of bank staff, the issue has moved beyond isolated crimes and is now being treated as a systemic security challenge.

Hotel Forest Inn IPO Signals Gradual Expansion of Nepal’s Listed Tourism Sector

Hotel Forest Inn IPO Signals Gradual Expansion of Nepal’s Listed Tourism Sector The hotel and tourism sector on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) is witnessing a slow but notable expansion with the entry of Hotel Forest Inn Limited, a five-star hotel company that has launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company has opened its first phase of share issuance exclusively for Nepali citizens working abroad, reflecting a growing trend of mobilising remittance-linked capital into long-term domestic investments. According to the approved issuance plan, Hotel Forest Inn has received permission to issue shares worth NPR 4 billion, equivalent to 40 million shares at a face value of NPR 100 per share. Of this total, 10 percent has been reserved for foreign-employed Nepalis, a category that regulators increasingly view as a stable source of investment capital. Market analysts note that targeting this group in the first phase helps companies secure relatively informed and patient investors, particularly in capital-intensive sectors such as hospitality.
