Govt unveils 21-point Capital Market Action Plan, reduces capital gain tax

Kathmandu, Sept 15: The Ministry of Finance has unveiled a 21-point “Capital Market Strengthening and Revival Action Plan, 2083” aimed at revitalizing Nepal’s sluggish capital market, restoring investor confidence, and introducing policy and structural reforms to make the market more competitive, transparent, and investment-friendly.

The action plan comes amid a prolonged slowdown in the economy and capital market, compounded by the economic impact of the devastating Bhote Koshi River flood on August 26, 2026. The government has said the measures are intended to support broader economic expansion and improve the functioning of the banking, financial, industrial, infrastructure, investment and capital market sectors.
