Kathmandu, February 4, 2026 – A government panel has proposed adding a NEPSE strategic partner to NEPSE. The partner would hold 15 to 25 percent ownership in the exchange.
The recommendation was made after studying NEPSE’s current structure and performance. The report has been submitted to the government and made public after approval.
The committee says NEPSE needs better technology, management skills, and infrastructure. A strategic partner can assist in the modernization of the exchange. The objective is to improve services for investors and make NEPSE more competitive.
According to the report, the proposed NEPSE startegic partner should be an experienced international stock exchange. It should have a strong global record and long operational experience. The partner would also get representation on NEPSE’s board.
The committee noted that in other countries, strategic partners sometimes hold even larger stakes. However, 15-25% is considered appropriate for the Nepalese market.
The report also recommends a gradual decrease in government ownership. It recommends enhancing the board structure and governance framework of NEPSE. This will help develop the capital market in Nepal.
If this happens, the NEPSE strategic partner plan will bring significant changes in the future regarding the functioning of NEPSE.
