NEPSE 30 : A New Era for Capital Markets

The Nepal government has officially approved the establishment of a new stock exchange, marking a significant milestone in the country's financial sector. With the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) receiving the green light to issue a license, Nepal is set to introduce a second stock trading platform, aiming to enhance market competition, improve investor accessibility, and modernize financial infrastructure. The decision comes amid ongoing debates about whether Nepal needs an additional exchange or should focus on restructuring the existing Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE). While proponents argue that a new exchange will create a more efficient, investor-friendly, and technologically advanced market, critics raise concerns about potential market fragmentation and political influence. The move aligns with broader capital market reforms, as the government seeks to diversify investment opportunities and attract foreign strategic partners. As Nepal prepares for this transition, stakeholders are closely monitoring its impact on market liquidity, investor confidence, and economic growth
