One of the key attractions of the event will be a special duologue between Banking Samachar Managing Director Raju Dhungel and SEBON Chairman Dr. Gopal Bhatt.

The interaction will take place after the panel discussions and will provide Chairman Bhatt with an opportunity to present SEBON’s perspective on the major issues and concerns raised during the event.

The organizers said the Nepal Capital Market Discourse aims to promote discussion on capital market policy reforms, regulatory improvements, investor protection and financial literacy.

Representatives from the Ministry of Finance, SEBON, Nepal Rastra Bank, NEPSE, CDSC, broker companies, merchant banks, commercial banks, development banks, credit rating agencies and listed companies are expected to participate.

Members of the House of Representatives will also attend the event, alongside international delegates from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

The event is expected to provide a platform for market stakeholders to exchange views on the development of Nepal’s capital market and discuss potential reforms aimed at improving the regulatory framework, investor participation and market infrastructure.
