President Ramchandra Paudel announced on Friday that the government will undertake a restructuring of the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) as part of its initiative to strengthen the country’s capital market and enhance transparency.

Presenting the government’s policies and programmes for the fiscal year 2025/26 during a joint session of the federal parliament on Friday, May 2, President Paudel said the restructuring of NEPSE will be accompanied by the institutional strengthening of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON), the capital market regulator.

The government’s broader reform agenda also includes reducing wasteful public spending by dismantling redundant or overlapping public institutions, he added.
