The NEPSE has been continuously declining on all trading days except one for the past two weeks. While banks and financial institutions have sufficient liquidity and interest rates are at their lowest point so far, the continuous decline in the NEPSE, a measure of stock trading, is being watched with interest.
In the first quarter review of the monetary policy issued by the NRB in this Mangsir, the NRB has removed the limit on personal share loans. Banks and financial institutions have also adopted a relaxed policy in the policy arrangements for investing in shares. However, its positive impact was not seen in the stock market. Instead, the NEPSE continued to decline continuously.
On Sunday, the NEPSE fell by 0.47 percent compared to last Thursday to 2,594.87 points. Earlier, on this 4th Mangsir, it had closed at 2,560.29 points.
