Commercial Banks Cut Fixed Deposit Rates Further in Ashoj, Depositors’ Returns Under Growing Pressure
Commercial Banks Cut Fixed Deposit Rates Further in Ashoj, Depositors’ Returns Under Growing Pressure Kathmandu. All 20 commercial banks operating in Nepal have published their interest rates for Ashoj, and the figures show that fixed deposit rates have fallen further compared to Bhadra. According to the available data, the maximum average interest rate on individual fixed deposits dropped from 5.577% in Bhadra to 5.4635% in Ashoj, a decline of 0.1135 percentage points. This reduction directly affects the returns of small savers and ordinary depositors who rely on fixed deposits for steady income. Out of 20 banks, 9 have slashed their individual fixed deposit rates in Ashoj. Prime Commercial, Sanima, Everest, Citizens, NIC Asia, Kumari, Agriculture Development, Nepal Bank, and Nepal SBI all lowered their rates. Some banks cut sharply by 0.50 percentage points, while others made smaller but meaningful reductions ranging from 0.07 to 0.25 points. This wave of reductions signals that banks are prioritizing “cheap deposits” rather than aggressively competing to attract funds.

GenZ Protests Trigger Nepal’s Largest Insurance Claim Crisis
GenZ Protests Trigger Nepal’s Largest Insurance Claim Crisis The GenZ protests of September 23–24 have left Nepal reeling not only socially and politically, but also financially. The wave of vandalism, arson, and looting has resulted in damages so vast that insurers are calling it the single largest insurance claim event in the country’s history. According to Birendra Baidawar Kshetri, President of the Insurance Association of Nepal and CEO of Siddhartha Premier Insurance, the financial burden could even exceed the payouts following the 2015 earthquake. “The biggest claims are expected from Bhatbhateni Superstores and Hilton Hotel,” he said. Bhatbhateni, Nepal’s largest retail chain, has seen 21 of its 28 outlets damaged, with 12 completely destroyed. The flagship stores in Naxal and Chucchepati were reduced to ashes, while Maharajgunj and Koteshwor branches also suffered heavy destruction. Outside the Valley, stores in Dharan, Biratnagar, Damak, and Birtamod were burned down, leaving the retail giant devastated.
