MP Bidushi Rana Calls for Capital Market Development as Economic Engine

Kathmandu. National Independent Party MP Bidushi Rana has stated that Nepal's capital market should be developed not just as a means of trading shares but as an engine for the overall economic development of the country.

On Wednesday, during a discussion with the new leadership of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) in the Finance Committee meeting, MP Rana expressed this view. She emphasized the need to restore investor confidence and connect the market with the real economy. Although there are more than 7.8 million share users and a large number of Demat accounts, the depth of the market is still limited, and it needs to be expanded, she said.
