The bank also received Certificates of Merit in the newly introduced 'Corporate Governance Disclosure Award' and 'Sustainability Reporting Award', the first time these categories were presented at the National Best Presented Annual Report (BPA) awards. The honours were handed to Nabil Bank Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Manoj Kumar Gyawali and Chief Financial Officer Sandeep Babu Paudel by ICAN President CA Nil Bahadur Saru Magar at a ceremony in Kathmandu on Tuesday.

ICAN said the awards were based on the bank’s annual report for the financial year 2025 and that selection criteria included financial transparency, accountability, good governance and sustainability. The institute added that Nabil Bank’s report was judged excellent across these areas.
