Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9232', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Cashless Service Pact between Prabhu and Vayodhya', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 4: Prabhu Insurance and Vayodhya Hospitals have signed agreement for cashless service.', 'content' => '<p>October 4: Prabhu Insurance and Vayodhya Hospitals have signed agreement for cashless service.</p> <p>Sanjit Bajrachrya, CEO of Prabhu Insurance, and Uttam Thapa, managing director of Vayodhya Hospitals, signed the agreement amid an event on Wednesday, October 3.</p> <p>According to the agreement, the customers who have purchased medical insurance policy from Prabhu Insurance will now be able to use cashless service of Vayodhya Hospitals.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-04', 'modified' => '2018-10-04', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9011', 'image' => '20181004014507_prabhu.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-04 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) $date = '2018-10-04 00:00:00' $dateFromDatabase = (int) 1538590500 $dateTwentyforHoursAgo = (int) 1747365758 $today = '2025-05-17 09:07:38am' $today2 = (int) 1747452158 $newDate = 'Oct 04, 2018' $commentCount = (int) 0 $word_count = (int) 151 $time_to_read = (float) 0.76 $time_to_read_min = (float) 0 $time_to_read_second = (float) 46getimagesize - [internal], line ?? include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 35 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9232', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Cashless Service Pact between Prabhu and Vayodhya', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 4: Prabhu Insurance and Vayodhya Hospitals have signed agreement for cashless service.', 'content' => '<p>October 4: Prabhu Insurance and Vayodhya Hospitals have signed agreement for cashless service.</p> <p>Sanjit Bajrachrya, CEO of Prabhu Insurance, and Uttam Thapa, managing director of Vayodhya Hospitals, signed the agreement amid an event on Wednesday, October 3.</p> <p>According to the agreement, the customers who have purchased medical insurance policy from Prabhu Insurance will now be able to use cashless service of Vayodhya Hospitals.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-04', 'modified' => '2018-10-04', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9011', 'image' => '20181004014507_prabhu.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-04 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) $width = null $height = null $date = '2018-10-04 00:00:00' $dateFromDatabase = (int) 1538590500 $dateTwentyforHoursAgo = (int) 1747365758 $today = '2025-05-17 09:07:38am' $today2 = (int) 1747452158 $newDate = 'Oct 04, 2018' $commentCount = (int) 0 $word_count = (int) 151 $time_to_read = (float) 0.76 $time_to_read_min = (float) 0 $time_to_read_second = (float) 46include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 36 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9231', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Dashain, Tihar offer of Hitachi', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 4: Hitachi home appliances has announced cash-back offer for its customers on the occasion of Dashain and Tihar.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9231', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Dashain, Tihar offer of Hitachi', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 4: Hitachi home appliances has announced cash-back offer for its customers on the occasion of Dashain and Tihar.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9230', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Two More Branches of Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 4: In a bid to extend its banking service across the country, Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank has added two more branches to its network.', 'content' => '<p>October 4: In a bid to extend its banking service across the country, Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank has added two more branches to its network.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9230', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Two More Branches of Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 4: In a bid to extend its banking service across the country, Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank has added two more branches to its network.', 'content' => '<p>October 4: In a bid to extend its banking service across the country, Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank has added two more branches to its network.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9228', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'OPPO F9 Launches Starry Purple', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO announced the launch of its latest addition to its popular F9 series on October 1.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO announced the launch of its latest addition to its popular F9 series on October 1.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9228', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'OPPO F9 Launches Starry Purple', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO announced the launch of its latest addition to its popular F9 series on October 1.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO announced the launch of its latest addition to its popular F9 series on October 1.

Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9227', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Qatar Airways wins a Host of Awards in Asia Pacific', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Qatar Airways has won the Best Inflight Service Award at the 29th Annual TTG Travel Awards 2018.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Qatar Airways has won the Best Inflight Service Award at the 29th Annual TTG Travel Awards 2018.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9227', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Qatar Airways wins a Host of Awards in Asia Pacific', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Qatar Airways has won the Best Inflight Service Award at the 29th Annual TTG Travel Awards 2018.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Qatar Airways has won the Best Inflight Service Award at the 29th Annual TTG Travel Awards 2018.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9225', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Norvic to offer Exclusive Medical Care to Rotarians', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Norvic International Hospital has signed an agreement with Rotary International District 3292 to provide exclusive medical care to the Rotarians and their families.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Norvic International Hospital has signed an agreement with Rotary International District 3292 to provide exclusive medical care to the Rotarians and their families.</p> <p>District Governor of Rotary International Chintamani Bhattarai and Managing Director of Norvic International Hospital Megha Chaudhary Shakya signed the MoU amidst a function on October 1.</p> <p>As per the agreement, Norvic would provide exclusive services including specialized, preventive, therapeutic and curative medical care to Rotarians and their families all over the country.</p> <p>Also, Norvic and Rotary International have agreed to work closely in organising special medical camps and talk shows for the benefit of the society.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-03', 'modified' => '2018-10-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9004', 'image' => '20181003022219_norvic.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) $width = null $height = null $ratio = (float) NAN $img_width = (int) 280 $img_height = (float) NAN $date = '2018-10-03 00:00:00' $dateFromDatabase = (int) 1538504100 $dateTwentyforHoursAgo = (int) 1747365758 $today = '2025-05-17 09:07:38am' $today2 = (int) 1747452158 $newDate = 'Oct 03, 2018' $commentCount = (int) 0 $word_count = (int) 210 $time_to_read = (float) 1.05 $time_to_read_min = (float) 1 $time_to_read_second = (float) 3getimagesize - [internal], line ?? include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 35 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9225', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Norvic to offer Exclusive Medical Care to Rotarians', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Norvic International Hospital has signed an agreement with Rotary International District 3292 to provide exclusive medical care to the Rotarians and their families.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Norvic International Hospital has signed an agreement with Rotary International District 3292 to provide exclusive medical care to the Rotarians and their families.</p> <p>District Governor of Rotary International Chintamani Bhattarai and Managing Director of Norvic International Hospital Megha Chaudhary Shakya signed the MoU amidst a function on October 1.</p> <p>As per the agreement, Norvic would provide exclusive services including specialized, preventive, therapeutic and curative medical care to Rotarians and their families all over the country.</p> <p>Also, Norvic and Rotary International have agreed to work closely in organising special medical camps and talk shows for the benefit of the society.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-03', 'modified' => '2018-10-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9004', 'image' => '20181003022219_norvic.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) $width = null $height = null $ratio = (float) NAN $img_width = (int) 280 $img_height = (float) NAN $date = '2018-10-03 00:00:00' $dateFromDatabase = (int) 1538504100 $dateTwentyforHoursAgo = (int) 1747365758 $today = '2025-05-17 09:07:38am' $today2 = (int) 1747452158 $newDate = 'Oct 03, 2018' $commentCount = (int) 0 $word_count = (int) 210 $time_to_read = (float) 1.05 $time_to_read_min = (float) 1 $time_to_read_second = (float) 3include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 36 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9224', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'HH Bajaj Inaugurates new Showroom in Bharatpur', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: HH Bajaj, the authorised distributor of Bajaj motorcycles in Nepal, has launched a fully facilitated new showroom, NK Motors, at Hakim Chowk, Bharatpur-10, Chitwan.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: HH Bajaj, the authorised distributor of Bajaj motorcycles in Nepal, has launched a fully facilitated new showroom, NK Motors, at Hakim Chowk, Bharatpur-10, Chitwan.</p> <p>HH Bajaj said in a statement that the new showroom will make it easier for the customers to access bike spare parts and accessories.<br /> Yogain Gurung, general manager of HH Company, said, “We are pleased to announce the new showroom at Bharatpur, Chitwan.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9224', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'HH Bajaj Inaugurates new Showroom in Bharatpur', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: HH Bajaj, the authorised distributor of Bajaj motorcycles in Nepal, has launched a fully facilitated new showroom, NK Motors, at Hakim Chowk, Bharatpur-10, Chitwan.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: HH Bajaj, the authorised distributor of Bajaj motorcycles in Nepal, has launched a fully facilitated new showroom, NK Motors, at Hakim Chowk, Bharatpur-10, Chitwan.</p> <p>HH Bajaj said in a statement that the new showroom will make it easier for the customers to access bike spare parts and accessories.<br /> Yogain Gurung, general manager of HH Company, said, “We are pleased to announce the new showroom at Bharatpur, Chitwan.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9223', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Samsung's Cash-back Offer for Dashain', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Samsung Electronics, Nepal has announced cash-back offer on the purchase of selected Samsung smartphones.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9223', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Samsung's Cash-back Offer for Dashain', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Samsung Electronics, Nepal has announced cash-back offer on the purchase of selected Samsung smartphones.

Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9222', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Kailash Bikas Bank starts connectIPS e-Payment System', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Kailash Bikas Bank has adopted the connectIPS e-Payment System which allows the bank’s customers to initiate online payment transactions up to Rs 100,000 per transaction through the system.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Kailash Bikas Bank has adopted the <em>connect</em>IPS e-Payment System which allows the bank’s customers to initiate online payment transactions up to Rs 100,000 per transaction through the system.</p> <p><em>According to Nepal Clearing House Limited (NCHL), connect</em>IPS is a standardized payment platform introduced by the company.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9222', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Kailash Bikas Bank starts connectIPS e-Payment System', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Kailash Bikas Bank has adopted the connectIPS e-Payment System which allows the bank’s customers to initiate online payment transactions up to Rs 100,000 per transaction through the system.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Kailash Bikas Bank has adopted the <em>connect</em>IPS e-Payment System which allows the bank’s customers to initiate online payment transactions up to Rs 100,000 per transaction through the system.</p> <p><em>According to Nepal Clearing House Limited (NCHL), connect</em>IPS is a standardized payment platform introduced by the company.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9221', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Smart Telecom inaugurates new Smart Centre at Pako', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: With the vision of expanding its services and facilitating easy access to its customers, Smart Telecom has inaugurated its new Smart Center at Pako, New Road.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: With the vision of expanding its services and facilitating easy access to its customers, Smart Telecom has inaugurated its new Smart Center at Pako, New Road.</p> <p>The new and existing users of Smart Telecom can easily access the centrally-located centre for any products or services, the company said in a statement.</p> <p>“The Smart Centre will be giving its customers an exemplary brand experience as it is fully equipped to handle all customer queries and provide more information about Smart Telecom’s products and services,” the statement said.</p> <p>Smart Telecom has also launched a new offer “Double your Happiness”.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9221', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Smart Telecom inaugurates new Smart Centre at Pako', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: With the vision of expanding its services and facilitating easy access to its customers, Smart Telecom has inaugurated its new Smart Center at Pako, New Road.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: With the vision of expanding its services and facilitating easy access to its customers, Smart Telecom has inaugurated its new Smart Center at Pako, New Road.</p> <p>The new and existing users of Smart Telecom can easily access the centrally-located centre for any products or services, the company said in a statement.</p> <p>“The Smart Centre will be giving its customers an exemplary brand experience as it is fully equipped to handle all customer queries and provide more information about Smart Telecom’s products and services,” the statement said.</p> <p>Smart Telecom has also launched a new offer “Double your Happiness”.

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9220', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Subisu Shuva Offer', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Subisu Cablenet has announced festive offer with the tagline ‘Subisu shuva offer - Double mazza, Paisa kum, speed jyada’.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Subisu Cablenet has announced festive offer with the tagline ‘Subisu shuva offer - Double mazza, Paisa kum, speed jyada’.</p> <p>Under this offer, the company has announced three different packages for internet, clear TV and combo pack of internet and Clear TV.</p> <p>In its clear TV offer, the company has introduced Clear TV Premium Pack Offer where customers can avail full HD Pack of 250 Plus digital channels including 60 Plus HD channels for two months including set-top box and installation charge at just Rs 1500 inclusive of VAT.</p> <p>Likewise, in Subisu Fast Pack Internet Offer, customers can enjoy 20 mbps unlimited internet for one month with modem and installation at just Rs 2000.</p> <p>In its combo pack of Subisu Internet and Clear TV, customers can enjoy 25 mbps unlimited internet with Full HD Pack of 250 plus digital channels including 60 Plus HD channels for two months that includes modem, set-top box and installation at just Rs 4500.</p> <p>According to the company, the offer is valid for a limited time only.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-03', 'modified' => '2018-10-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8999', 'image' => '20181003095417_subisu subha offer.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) $width = null $height = null $ratio = (float) NAN $img_width = (int) 280 $img_height = (float) NAN $date = '2018-10-03 00:00:00' $dateFromDatabase = (int) 1538504100 $dateTwentyforHoursAgo = (int) 1747365758 $today = '2025-05-17 09:07:38am' $today2 = (int) 1747452158 $newDate = 'Oct 03, 2018' $commentCount = (int) 0 $word_count = (int) 212 $time_to_read = (float) 1.06 $time_to_read_min = (float) 1 $time_to_read_second = (float) 4getimagesize - [internal], line ?? include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 35 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $cat_id = '1' $categoryTitle = array( 'ArticleCategory' => array( 'id' => '1', 'name' => 'NEWS', 'parentOf' => '0', 'published' => true, 'registered' => '2015-07-20 00:00:00', 'sortorder' => '158', 'del_flag' => '0', 'homepage' => true, 'display_in_menu' => true, 'user_id' => '1', 'created' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'modified' => '2018-11-22 11:58:49' ) ) $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9220', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Subisu Shuva Offer', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 3: Subisu Cablenet has announced festive offer with the tagline ‘Subisu shuva offer - Double mazza, Paisa kum, speed jyada’.', 'content' => '<p>October 3: Subisu Cablenet has announced festive offer with the tagline ‘Subisu shuva offer - Double mazza, Paisa kum, speed jyada’.</p> <p>Under this offer, the company has announced three different packages for internet, clear TV and combo pack of internet and Clear TV.</p> <p>In its clear TV offer, the company has introduced Clear TV Premium Pack Offer where customers can avail full HD Pack of 250 Plus digital channels including 60 Plus HD channels for two months including set-top box and installation charge at just Rs 1500 inclusive of VAT.</p> <p>Likewise, in Subisu Fast Pack Internet Offer, customers can enjoy 20 mbps unlimited internet for one month with modem and installation at just Rs 2000.</p> <p>In its combo pack of Subisu Internet and Clear TV, customers can enjoy 25 mbps unlimited internet with Full HD Pack of 250 plus digital channels including 60 Plus HD channels for two months that includes modem, set-top box and installation at just Rs 4500.</p> <p>According to the company, the offer is valid for a limited time only.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-03', 'modified' => '2018-10-03', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8999', 'image' => '20181003095417_subisu subha offer.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-03 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) $width = null $height = null $ratio = (float) NAN $img_width = (int) 280 $img_height = (float) NAN $date = '2018-10-03 00:00:00' $dateFromDatabase = (int) 1538504100 $dateTwentyforHoursAgo = (int) 1747365758 $today = '2025-05-17 09:07:38am' $today2 = (int) 1747452158 $newDate = 'Oct 03, 2018' $commentCount = (int) 0 $word_count = (int) 212 $time_to_read = (float) 1.06 $time_to_read_min = (float) 1 $time_to_read_second = (float) 4include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 36 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) $width = null $height = null $ratio = (float) NAN $img_width = (int) 280 $img_height = (float) NAN $date = '2018-10-03 00:00:00' $dateFromDatabase = (int) 1538504100 $dateTwentyforHoursAgo = (int) 1747365758 $today = '2025-05-17 09:07:38am' $today2 = (int) 1747452158 $newDate = 'Oct 03, 2018' $commentCount = (int) 0 $word_count = (int) 181 $time_to_read = (float) 0.91 $time_to_read_min = (float) 0 $time_to_read_second = (float) 55include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 36 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = falseinclude - APP/View/Elements/side_bar.ctp, line 60 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::_renderElement() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 1224 View::element() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 418 include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 157 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = falsesimplexml_load_file - [internal], line ?? include - APP/View/Elements/side_bar.ctp, line 60 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::_renderElement() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 1224 View::element() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 418 include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 157 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $xml = falseinclude - APP/View/Elements/side_bar.ctp, line 133 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::_renderElement() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 1224 View::element() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 418 include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 157 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117

', 'content' => '<p>October 1: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Chiranjibi Nepal has said that the availability of data and information on banking and financial access and inclusion helps the government in formulating necessary policies and programs targeted at the rural areas. <br /> Speaking at the launch of Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal in the capital on Sunday, September 30, NRB Governor Nepal said that the portal will provide information and data from the rural parts of the country where the government and regulators can’t reach immediately. <br /> “It is very important for policymakers as they can develop policies and financial strategies by looking at this portal,” said NRB Governor Nepal. <br /> “This portal will help both government and the central bank for the development of financial infrastructure toward increasing the financial access which is a must for the economic growth of the country,” said NRB Governor Nepal, delivering his keynote speech during the launch. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal, launched by the NRB Governor Nepal, is an innovative tool to help regulatory bodies, financial service providers and infrastructure providers build in-roads to help the financially excluded become financially independent. It enables commercial banks, development banks, finance companies, microfinance companies and non-bank payment service providers to report their data in a systematic manner. <br /> NRB with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has set up the portal which provides real-time information and data to map out a realistic picture of the financial access and the usage. Some of the core functions of the portal are measuring financial inclusion and generating analytical reports to facilitate data-driven policy intervention. <br /> Also speaking at the ceremony as a keynote speaker, Ayshanie Medagangoda-Labe, deputy country director of the UNDP, said that the financial inclusion and access can be increased through literacy and use of technology. <br /> She pointed out various barriers for the financial inclusion like lack of literacy, distance that people have to travel, lack of saving and income and trust in banking or financial institution.<br /> Lauding that the Nepal has been progressing ‘slowly and steadily’ in the journey of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, she also said that the initiative is a very good opportunity for Nepal which has been championing the SDGs and currently implementing the federal structure. <br /> The Nepal Financial Inclusion Portal aims to help the central bank and the government to identify the areas that need financial access points, the reason for the need and scale should the financial access point operate. </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-01', 'modified' => '2018-10-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8998', 'image' => '20181001122322_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-10-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $xml = falsesimplexml_load_file - [internal], line ?? include - APP/View/Elements/side_bar.ctp, line 133 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::_renderElement() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 1224 View::element() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 418 include - APP/View/Articles/index.ctp, line 157 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 971 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 933 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 473 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 968 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 200 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 167 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 117
