Why is there fear regarding the proposed amendments in the Banking and Financial Institution Act (BAFIA)?
Why is there fear regarding the proposed amendments in the Banking and Financial Institution Act (BAFIA)? Two sections that seek to distinguish between "bankers" and "businesspeople" have been discussed here: The first is Section 52(1), which states: "A bank or financial institution shall not provide any loan or facility to a person who has a significant ownership in the bank or financial institution or to a related party." The key terms in this section are "related," "person," and "bank." According to the definition in Section 2, "bank" refers to commercial banks and infrastructure development banks. The definition of "related person" includes both natural persons (individuals) and legal persons (companies and institutions). However, the term "significant ownership" refers only to natural persons, not institutions. Therefore, according to the proposed amendment, a bank or financial institution cannot provide loans or facilities to a related person or institution. However, such related persons or institutions may still borrow from other banks and financial institutions. The current law does not contain the term "related," and the proposed amendment clarifies this by making the provision more liberal. This change does not appear to have any significant impact.

Ripples of BAFIA: Mounting Impact on the Market
Ripples of BAFIA: Mounting Impact on the Market The ongoing debate around the proposed amendment to BAFIA (Bank and Financial Institutions Act) has stirred noticeable waves in the stock market. The move to distinctly separate the roles of bankers and businesspersons has triggered uncertainty among investors, directly affecting market sentiment. Although this is not a new issue—it has been in discussion for years—each time it resurfaces, it tends to shake investor confidence in the short term. Historically, such debates have flared up and then gradually faded away. However, with the amendment bill reportedly on its way to Parliament, market participants are now reacting more cautiously.

Separation of Powers? BAFIA Draft Threatens Business-Banking Nexus
The proposed amendment to the Bank and Financial Institutions Act (BAFIA) has stirred significant debate and uncertainty in Nepal’s capital market. The key clause causing controversy is the provision to separate banks and businesspersons. If passed, anyone holding 1% or more shares in a bank will be prohibited from engaging in any business activity. This move appears aimed at ensuring banks are free from influence by business tycoons and that conflicts of interest are minimized. However, the ripple effect on the stock market has already begun, with investors, analysts, and stakeholders expressing divided opinions across social media.
