Govt should do needful to maintain stability in stock market: NC leader Thapa

KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) lawmaker Gagan Kumar Thapa has drawn the attention of the government and regulators to maintain stability of the share market and confidence of investors. Attending today's session of the House of Representatives, Thapa demanded that the parliament be informed about problems being faced by the share market, an indication of the entire economy of the country, for the progress of not only investors but the whole country's economy. The market should not face instability because of policy-related issues despite its ups and downs caused by different factors like a crunch of liquidity, the Nepali Congress leader said. Policies of the security market should be sustainable, he demanded. The whole investors should know about what the government and regulators including the Finance Ministry, Nepal Rastra Bank and Securities Board of Nepal have been doing to protect them especially small-scale investors, he stated. "Investments into the market have been at risk due to related unstable policies. A way out should be sought soon." By RSS READ ALSO:
