Securities Board of Nepal Unveils Capital Market Reform Action Plan — Major Reforms to Be Implemented by Mid-Mangsir 2082
The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has unveiled a detailed implementation plan to execute the recommendations made by the Capital Market Reform Task Force. The plan was made public on Sunday following investor protests demanding immediate reforms. According to the plan, SEBON has prioritized nine key actions — implementing margin trading through brokers, standardizing ISIN issuance by CDS and Clearing Ltd, requiring listed companies to settle dividend taxes themselves, ensuring interest compensation for delayed payments between brokers and investors, and allowing investors to open multiple beneficiary (demat) accounts. Additionally, NEPSE will be directed to make company classification more objective, establish an investor grievance mechanism, enhance financial literacy programs, and set up a dedicated mechanism to investigate securities-related offenses. Most of these reforms are scheduled for completion by the end of Kartik to mid-Mangsir (November–December 2025).
