Kathmandu — The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) did not grow even though share lending increased and investors hoped for election gains.
In the first six months of this year, banks and finance companies gave more than Rs 12.12 billion in share loans. This is 8% higher than last year.
Usually, more share lending helps the stock market. It gives investors money to buy shares. But this time, the index stayed almost the same.
Investors hoped the upcoming general elections would boost confidence. But uncertainty over the next government made many people cautious.
Experts say share loans do not always raise stock prices. Borrowed money may be used for other purposes. This limits its effect on the market.
Even with easy access to money and lower interest rates, it struggled to rise. Investors are waiting for clear signals from the economy and politics before investing more.
This shows that the stock market needs more than loans to grow. It needs strong investor confidence, good governance, and market reforms.
Stay tuned to NepseTalk for the latest news.
