After assuming charge of NEPSE, he told Chapagai to increase the use of technology in share trading and conduct a wide awareness program for investors.

Investors' confidence seems to have decreased due to lack of awareness. The most suitable way to increase their confidence is to increase literacy, we are working on it,' he said, 'By doing this, the confidence of investors will increase, it will increase the share trading and it will give positive support to the overall economy.'
