Finance Minister Khanal Emphasizes Need for a Simplified and Transparent Tax System to Boost Investment
Finance Minister Khanal Emphasizes Need for a Simplified and Transparent Tax System to Boost Investment Finance Minister Rameshwor Prasad Khanal has acknowledged that Nepal’s current tax system is complicated and burdensome, making it difficult to attract meaningful investment. Speaking at an interaction program organized by the Siddhartha Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Bhairahawa, he stressed that Nepal’s economic bottleneck is not the size of the budget, but rather the ability to spend it effectively. He noted that development plans often remain stalled due to procedural hurdles and emphasized the need for simplification across all administrative levels.

India Signs Significant LPG Supply Agreement with the United States
India Signs Significant LPG Supply Agreement with the United States India has signed a significant annual agreement with the United States to secure approximately 10% of its LPG supply. This move has been described as an important step toward the sustainable diversification of India’s energy sources. Earlier, in August, relations between the two countries had become tense after U.S. President Donald Trump increased tariffs on India by up to 50%. Tensions further escalated when U.S. officials accused India of indirectly supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine. President Trump claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed to cut imports of Russian crude oil as a precondition for a potential trade deal, though India has not formally confirmed this claim. Despite disagreements over issues like agricultural trade and Russian oil purchases, discussions between New Delhi and Washington have continued.

How Stock Prices Are Determined — The Balance Between Supply and Demand
How Stock Prices Are Determined — The Balance Between Supply and Demand The stock market fundamentally operates on the law of supply and demand. When more investors seek to buy a company’s shares, prices rise. Conversely, when more investors sell, prices fall. This balance is the foundation of market price movements. According to market analysts, factors such as a company’s performance, investor psychology, and the broader economic environment also influence prices. When large institutional investors place massive buy orders and sellers are insufficient, the price often rises temporarily. Later, as the market rebalances, the price stabilizes again.

From Village to Victory: How Rajan K.C. from Okhaldhunga Mastered Nepal’s Share Market Born in a small village in Okhaldhunga, Rajan K.C. never dreamed of sitting in a fancy office or flying abroad for a job. What he did instead was far more inspiring: he built a successful career in Nepal’s share market from scratch — all from his mobile phone. Rajan’s journey began in 2016 (2073 B.S.) when he came across a Facebook post mentioning the “NEPSE” index. Curious and clueless, he dived into YouTube videos and online news articles, eventually figuring out how to apply for his first IPO — that of Kapilvastu Cement.

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.
