			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'summary' => 'October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. ',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>

			'content' => '<p>October 7: Of the total savings accounts in the country, the number of dormant accounts has reached 45.29 percent. Statistics maintained by Nepal Rastra Bank show that out of the total 19,191,000 savings accounts till mid-July 2018, only 10,499,000 accounts are active. The remaining 8,691,985 bank accounts have remained inactive.</p>

<p>The statistics show that the number of dormant accounts has significantly increased after mid-July. According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank&rsquo;s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p>

<p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account. &nbsp;To reactivate such bank accounts, the account holders have to submit an application to the concerned bank where they had opened the account.&nbsp;</p>

			'sub_title' => '',
			'summary' => 'October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.',
			'content' => '<p>October 7: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has warned that the loosely-regulated cooperatives which mobilize deposits are the biggest threat to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Addressing the inaugural session of an interaction program entitled &lsquo;Financial Sector Stability: A Priority for National Agenda&rsquo; organized by Society of Economic Journalists-Nepal in the capital on Friday, October 5, NRB Governor Nepal said that such cooperatives as well as non-banking financial institutions have posed unseen risks to the financial sector stability of the country.</p>

<p>Stating that the monetary policy for the current fiscal year 2018/19 has introduced several measures to strengthen the financial stability, he said that other financial institutions including the loosely-regulated cooperatives are &lsquo;unseen threats to the regulatory system&rsquo;.</p>

<p>During the interaction program, financial experts, policy makers and regulators said that the financial stability is a pre-requisite for economic growth and should not be taken for granted.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The regulatory system of banking sector is very strong. So, the central bank is strong and capable to control bank and financial institutions. But, what about others?&rdquo; he asked, referring to non-banking institutions and cooperatives who are not under the regulatory parameters of the NRB.</p>

<p>As more than 15 percent of the money is mobilized by the institutions that are out of the regulatory system, he said that any shock could pose threat to the entire financial system of the country.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There is a huge movement of money in cooperatives. They must be regulated to make sure that the movement of money there is tracked,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Strengthening the supervision and monitoring of systemically important banks, branch audit of commercial banks, plan to develop housing price index and raising the limit of deposit guarantee to Rs 300,000 from Rs 200,000, among others, are some of the measures introduced in the monetary policy as part of the efforts to strengthen the financial system of the country, Governor Nepal said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;There should be consistency in the stability of the financial sector. As observed in the 2008 financial crisis, any incident can destabilize the system. So our focus should be on maintaining consistency of the financial stability,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Shree Krishna Nepal, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Finance, also echoed the concern of NRB Governor Nepal. He termed the financial stability a pre-requisite to the economic growth of any country. &ldquo;The global economy is moving toward normality and there is not any upheaval. But what we can learn from the global financial crisis is that if we cannot manage financial system, it can inflict damage on the economy and we have to suffer,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Nara Bahadur Thapa, the research department chief of the NRB, said that the state-owned Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank Ltd had threatened the financial sector stability of the country in the past. Stating that the government had to bail out these banks through the tax payers&rsquo; money of Rs 3.5 billion, he said that the crisis has also led to several reform initiatives in the financial sector.</p>

<p>Strahan Spencer, Senior Economic Adviser at DFID Nepal, said that the firms and households are vulnerable to economic or financial shocks. &ldquo;One of the important lessons from the global financial crisis of 2008 is that we should not take financial stability as granted,&rdquo; he said, warning that sophisticated financial products could pose risk to the financial sector.</p>
