New Government Takes Office Under Balen Shah Amid Rising Economic Risks and High Public Expectations

New Government Takes Office Under Balen Shah Amid Rising Economic Risks and High Public Expectations The swearing-in of Balen Shah as Nepal’s new Prime Minister marks the beginning of a politically decisive phase, but one that is equally loaded with economic uncertainty. Administered by President Ram Chandra Poudel at Shital Niwas, the ceremony symbolized not just a transfer of power but a shift toward a new political narrative driven by fresh leadership. The formation of a full cabinet alongside the Prime Minister indicates an immediate push toward governance, yet the underlying economic landscape suggests that the real test lies ahead.

Margin Trading Set to Inject Fresh Liquidity into Nepal’s Secondary Market

Margin Trading Set to Inject Fresh Liquidity into Nepal’s Secondary Market Kathmandu — Nepal’s secondary stock market is on the verge of a significant transformation as the long-awaited margin trading facility moves closer to implementation. With the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) approving the “Margin Trading Facility Procedure, 2082,” investors and market participants are anticipating a new wave of liquidity that could reshape trading dynamics in the coming months. The introduction of margin trading allows investors to purchase shares using borrowed funds through brokers, a shift that is expected to expand market participation. For years, investors had been calling for such a mechanism to deepen the market and improve access to capital. With the regulatory green light now in place, brokerage firms can develop their own operational frameworks and begin offering margin lending services.

Rising Power Demand and Supply Gaps Raise Risk of Industrial Load Cuts in Nepal

Rising Power Demand and Supply Gaps Raise Risk of Industrial Load Cuts in Nepal

Rising Power Demand and Supply Gaps Raise Risk of Industrial Load Cuts in Nepal Kathmandu — Nepal is once again facing mounting pressure on its power system as rising summer demand, combined with structural weaknesses in energy production and distribution, threatens potential electricity cuts in industrial sectors in the coming weeks. Despite being declared load-shedding free in 2016, the country now finds itself confronting familiar vulnerabilities, exposing gaps in long-term energy planning. The surge in electricity demand has been driven by seasonal and behavioral factors. With temperatures rising, consumption has increased significantly, particularly in urban areas. In the Kathmandu Valley alone, demand has climbed from around 500 megawatts during winter to nearly 600 megawatts at present. Compounding this trend is a shortage of cooking gas, which has pushed more households toward electric alternatives, further increasing load on the grid.

NEPSE Slips After Five-Day Rally, Profit Booking Signals Short-Term Pause in Bullish Trend

NEPSE Slips After Five-Day Rally, Profit Booking Signals Short-Term Pause in Bullish Trend Kathmandu — After a strong five-day rally, Nepal’s stock market witnessed a correction on Wednesday, with the Nepal Stock Exchange falling by 24.45 points. The decline comes after the benchmark index had gained 161 points over the previous sessions, raising questions among investors about whether the market is entering a consolidation phase or preparing for another upward move. Market analysts point out that the current correction is not entirely unexpected. The NEPSE index has historically struggled to sustain momentum near its all-time high of 3,198 points, recorded on Shrawan 27, 2078. Since then, the index has approached this resistance level multiple times but failed to break through, often reversing course shortly after. This recurring pattern has reinforced the perception of the zone as a strong psychological and technical barrier.

Balen Shah Prepares Reform Agenda Ahead of Premiership, Focuses on Structural Overhaul Kathmandu — Senior leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party, Balen Shah, who is poised to assume the office of Prime Minister following a decisive electoral victory from Jhapa–5, has remained largely absent from public view in recent weeks.

Low Credit Demand Persists Despite Falling Interest Rates, Says Central Bank Governor

Low Credit Demand Persists Despite Falling Interest Rates, Says Central Bank Governor Kathmandu — Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank, Bishwo Nath Paudel, has said that a decline in interest rates has not translated into the expected expansion of credit in the economy, highlighting deeper structural weaknesses beyond monetary policy. His remarks come at a time when policymakers are attempting to revive economic activity amid subdued demand and cautious private sector behavior. According to the governor, the central bank had anticipated that lower borrowing costs would encourage businesses and individuals to take loans and invest. However, credit growth has remained below expectations, suggesting that the issue lies not only in the cost of borrowing but also in weak confidence and limited investment appetite. This indicates a broader slowdown where monetary easing alone is insufficient to stimulate economic momentum.
