Kathmandu, July 10
The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has
said that it is preparing a detailed capital market development roadmap to
address the issues observed in the market and to protect investors' interests.
It said in a statement that it has been
working seriously on the matter and will publish the roadmap within the coming
week. The roadmap will include a time-bound action plan, and the SEBON will proceed
with its implementation accordingly.
"The Board has taken serious note of
the problems currently seen in Nepal's securities market and the complaints
raised by investors," it said while adding that it has instructed licensed
securities professionals and other related institutions to complete the tasks
and actions for effective implementation of margin trading and other
market-related matters as directed by the Board.
According to the SEBON, work has begun on a
review of the existing securities-related laws, the Securities Registration and
Issue Regulations and other regulations, as well as the corporate governance
directives applicable to listed organised institutions and other legal
arrangements.
"The review is being done to create a
healthier, safer and more effective capital market environment and to further
streamline the public issuance process and regulatory framework for securities,"
read the statement.
While the Board said that it has been working
while giving high priority to the protection of investors' interests, it has
received criticism from public and investors for not being sensitive to the
share investors. Writing on the SEBON's Facebook wall, they urged it to work to
boost the morale of the investors.
