In Kathmandu, the third review of the monetary policy by the Central Bank was made public on Sunday. This review marks the culmination of the current fiscal year assessment conducted by the National Bank.
The review indicates a reduction in the risk burden on share pledge loans. The Bank stated that the risk burden of existing share pledge loans would be decreased from 125% to a sustainable 100%.
Currently, although institutional investors do not have a cap on loans, a personal limit of NPR 20 million has been imposed. The reduced risk burden is seen as beneficial for both institutional and individual borrowers, according to government officials.
This move is expected to inject a significant amount of money into the stock market, thereby impacting the banking and financial institutions as well.
Opinion from Ramesh Khatri, representative of Kansai Nepal News:
“This adjustment in the risk burden for share pledge loans is a positive step towards promoting investments and reducing financial risks for borrowers. It is likely to stimulate economic activity and boost investor confidence in the market.”
