Banks mull over publishing financial reports in Nepali

Kathmandu, Jan. 15

Vice president of Nepal Bankers’ Association (NBA) Anil Upadhyaya has said that the financial reports of the banks and financial institutions (BFIs) need to be published in simple form and Nepali language.

“The reports are for the common public and especially the investors of the BFIs most of whom do not have idea about the difficult technical terms and structure of the financial reports, therefore, we are thinking of publishing them in Nepali language as well,” he said while speaking at a training on Nepal Financial Reporting Standards organised by Nepalese Association of Financial Journalists (NAFIJ) on Friday.

He said that the reports in the past were prepared just to show the regulator but now millions of investors are interested in such reports which had demanded simplicity in it.

According to him, bankers have started discussion on the issue and the NBA would continue it.

The training was facilitated by Assistant Director of Nepal Rastra Bank Sujan Khanal, Financial Controller of Standard Chartered Bank Suraj Lamichhane and senior economic journalist Yagya Banjade. Altogether 30 economic journalists were present in the training.
