NEPSE Revises Stock Dealer Regulations to Broaden Investment Scope and Simplify Processes

Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) has amended its stock dealer regulations to make the capital market more liquid and dynamic. Dealers can now invest not only in shares but also in government bonds, mutual funds, and debentures, broadening their investment options. Previously, dealers were restricted to buying shares only from profitable companies, but this requirement has been removed to encourage flexibility. The minimum paid-up capital requirement for dealers has been increased to NPR 25 crores, aiming to strengthen financial stability. Additionally, the process has been simplified by removing the need for dealers to get company listing approval, which speeds up market operations—directly benefiting investors by potentially increasing market activity and offering more diversified investment choices.
