December 24, 2025, in Kathmandu: A leading group has advised improvements to Nepal’s financial system. The idea is to get more loans out there and assist the economy in getting back on its feet.

The recommendations were sent to Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) because loan demand is low and business growth is slow.

The Nepal Banking Sector Reform Task Force, led by economist Dr. Rewat Bahadur Karki, said banks have extra funds but are lending very little. The panel said quick reforms are needed to boost investment and trust in banks.

A lot of businesses are still having trouble after the outbreak. The panel came up with ideas for regulations that would make it simpler for small and medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs to get loans.

Main Suggestions for Nepal Banking Sector:

• Make loans easier to get while keeping depositors safe
• Help business and entrepreneur loans by making the rules easy to follow.
• Look at the rules for blacklisting to help good firms get back on their feet.
• Make it easier for banks, regulators, and the private sector to work together.
• Use criteria based on risk to find a balance between safety and growth.

The panel thinks that these changes can help banks put their extra money to use and speed up the economy. Successful reforms in Nepal banking sector might help make investors more confident in the stock market.
