Nepal stock exchange is planning to reopen trading from Ashwin 5. The capital market regulator, Nepal Securities Board, is taking extra precautions to protect investors after recent political changes lowered market confidence. Officials want to minimize losses and ensure safe trading.
Board chairman Santosh Narayan Shrestha met with key officials from NEPSE and CDS & Clearing Limited to discuss how to reopen the market safely. They agreed to limit trading hours initially from 11 am to 1 pm instead of the usual four hours. Circuit breaker rules may also be tightened, pausing trading if the NEPSE index drops by 3 percent in the first hour.
Once the interim government shows stability and investor confidence improves, full four-hour trading sessions may resume. Regulators will monitor the market closely and adjust rules to maintain safety and stability.
