KATHMANDU: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has increased the margin lending by amending the Integrated Guidelines 2080 BS. With this, the cap of the upper limit of Rs 120 million for margin lending is removed.
As per the new decision, the margin lending is fixed at Rs 150 million for individuals and Rs 200 million for institutional investors, NRB said in its amended guidelines.
The investors of the share market were piling pressure on the central bank to remove the existing cap on margin lending adding that this has had a serious impact on the share market.
Likewise, the commercial banks should have to maintain their counter-cyclical buffer to 0.5% by the end of the current fiscal year 2023/24.
