The Stock Brokers Association of Nepal (SBAN) has welcomed the Capital Market Reform Report recently submitted by a task force formed under the direction of Finance Minister Rameshwor Khanal, calling for its immediate implementation by concerned regulatory bodies.
The task force, coordinated by Rupesh KC, Acting Executive Director of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON), was formed to recommend key reforms for Nepal’s capital market. After the report was submitted, Finance Minister Rameshwor Khanal instructed Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), Securities Board of Nepal, and the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) to take necessary policy and structural actions to implement the recommendations.
Following the report’s submission, SBAN President Sagar Dhakal expressed strong appreciation for the minister’s leadership, describing his initiative as a milestone toward sustainable development and modernization of Nepal’s capital market.
Dhakal stated,
“The report’s recommendations are practical and timely. They include removing the cap on margin lending against shares, lifting restrictions on banks and financial institutions from participating in share trading, introducing new financial instruments, restructuring and partially privatizing NEPSE — all of which are essential for long-term market growth.”
He further emphasized that in the past, many reform task forces had been formed, but implementation rarely followed. This time, he urged the government and regulators to act swiftly and decisively to ensure the report’s recommendations are executed without delay.
“We sincerely thank Finance Minister Khanal for his proactive role in addressing capital market reform,” Dhakal added. “If this level of commitment is followed through in implementation, the future of Nepal’s stock market will be bright and sustainable.”
