NRB Eases Policy After Slow Credit Growth; 12% Annual Target Still an Uphill Task

Following weak private sector credit growth, the Nepal Rastra Bank has introduced flexible measures through its mid-term monetary policy review. With only 3.8 percent credit growth achieved against a 12 percent annual target by mid-year, the central bank has relaxed working capital loan guidelines and expanded priority sectors to include tourism, IT, and export-based industries. The review also offers temporary relief to genuine borrowers affected by the slowdown and lowers key policy rates, making borrowing cheaper. However, achieving the remaining credit growth target in the next six months remains challenging, making effective policy implementation and stronger market demand crucial for economic recovery.
