As a result, the benchmark Nepse index went up 31.27 points or 7.72% to 405.02 during the review period when the session’s high was on 23 July with 408.35 and the low was on 26 June with 368.480. <br /> <br /> A number of banking and financial institutions have reduced their interest rates on different saving schemes recently. Thus the attraction of interest rates is reduced now which is expected to lure the investors back to the equity market. <br /> <br /> <br /> One important development during the review period was the approval of the guidelines for Mutual Fund. This has opened way for two already approved mutual funds (Siddhartha Mutual Fund and Nabil Mutual Fund) to start operation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong><br /> Performance by Sector <br /> <br /> <br /> </strong><br /> <img alt="pie chart" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/sectorwisdistribution.jpg" style="width: 349px; height: 384px;" vspace="5" /><br /> <br /> <br /> Commercial banking sector that accounts for the major share in the volume of trade in Nepal Stock Exchange added 31.27 points or 7.72% during the review period to close at 405.02. Similarly, the Hydropower sector gained a hefty 77.37 points followed by 63.43 points up in others sector to reach 699.24 and 615.65 respectively. Insurance sub-index accelerated 28.67 points to 509.04 while manufacturing sector surged 15.57 points to 682.23. Development bank moved up 6.81 points or 2.68% to rest at 253.67. However, finance sector descended 2.47 points or 0.94% to rest at 263.37. Sensitive index that measures the performance of 133 blue chip scrip at the secondary market escalated 10.34 points or 9.87% to reach 104.73 while the float index calculated on the basis of real transactions went uphill 1.81 points or 5.75% to 31.48. The turnover volume was of Rs. 1,501,282,753 during the review period from 5,071,209 units of shares traded via 26,922 transactions. <br /> <br /> <br /> The accompanying figure demonstrates sector-wise distribution based on the total volume of trade. As usual, commercial bank dominated the volume occupying 63.24%. Hydropower sector holds 14.10%, finance sector accounts for 7.08% and remaining sectors cover the rest. <br /> <br /> <br /> Technically, the Simple Moving Average (SMA) exceeds 30 days SMA and 200 days SMA as Nepse index is stretched higher.

The benchmark Nepse index plummeted 3.59 points or 1.09% to close at 327.99. The highest point during review period was on 12 October with 334.49 while the lowest was on 23 October with 326.42. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Normally, the festival season causes outflow of money from the stock market. However, this year it was not so. Many companies have already declared their earnings and announced the dividend rates while others are preparing to do so. The book closing days are also coming around for the AGMs. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">All these are making the investors to heed the market movement more closely. Investors are dismayed at the delay in the operation of CDS and Clearing Ltd. the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has started investigation on the suspicion that there has been abuse of authority in employee recruitments and in some expense of this company. Regulations of CDS and Clearing Ltd are also pending approval from the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON). One positive development of the period is the appointment of SEBON Chairperson. Newly appointed Chairperson Babu Ram Shrestha has already taken over the responsibility and it is hoped that the CDS Company will get its regulations approved soon. During the month, a number of financial institutions made some definite progress towards their plan of merger. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">As a result, the stock exchange has halted trading in the stocks of those companies. That has subdued the trading volume. Hence it can be said that the market will show sideways movement for few coming sessions. Performance by Sector Banking sector that has been dominating the volume of trade in the Kathmandu exchange lost 8.65 points or 3.09% to close at 279.69 during the review period. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Insurance sub-index plummeted 5.53 points or 1.39% to 398.14. Finance sector receded 4.54 points or 1.66% to rest at 272.88. Hotel sector descended 3.59 points along with 3.10 points decline in development bank sector to 379.01 and 278.90 respectively. The others sector shed 1.17 points or 0.24% to settle at 26.94. However hydropower sector registered a heavy growth of 44 points or 7.23% to reach 608.67. <img alt="stock taking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/1(1).jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" /><br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Trading sector gained 4.63 points or 1.85% to close at 250.71. Sensitive index that measures the performance of 117 blue chips descended 1.78 points or 2.22% to 80.02 while the float index calculated on the basis of real transaction skid 0.34 points to 26.94. Total of Rs. 474010954 was realized during the review period from 3000729 units of share traded via 18846 transactions. <img alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="295" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/2(1).jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="519" /><br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">The accompanying figure illustrates the sector-wise distribution based on total amount of trade. As usual, the banking sector accounted for 49.62% of total trade. Likewise, hydropower sector accounted for 22.95% while development bank covered 11.07%. Finance sector accounted for 7.39% and remaining sectors made up for the rest. Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is dominating the market as 200 days SMA is far from the index while 30 days SMA is moving together with the index indicating further possibility of sideways movement for few more sessions. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><em>(Chitrakar is a Stock Analyst with Jamb Technologies Pvt Ltd.)</em></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><em><img alt="stock taking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/3(1).jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" /><br /> </em></span></p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2011-11-17', 'modified' => '2012-09-16', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => 'The Kathmandu stock exchangeebbedout marginally during the Dashain-Tihar festival season of this year as the dip in the prices of banking stocks pulled the index for most of the session.', 'sortorder' => '427', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '0' ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '479', 'article_category_id' => '42', 'title' => 'Waiting For 350(October 2011)', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => null, 'content' => '<h3 style="color: blue;"> <span style="color:#800000;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">(Nepal Stock Market Review for 22 Aug – 20 September, 2011)</span></span></h3> <p> <span style="color:#800000;"><br /> </span></p> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>By Bikram Chitrakar<br /> <br /> <br /> </strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">The Nepse Index needs to cross 350 to inspire the investors, shows this analysis. With Nepse Index continuously sliding down, the month striding over August-September period was a month of decline in the Nepali bourse. This was in spite of healthy earnings reports and dividend declaration by the companies. The entry of Maoists as the leader of the government helped in sending the mood in the exchange down because of lack of clarity about the policy of the new government. The benchmark Nepse index plummeted 29.76 points or 9.30 per cent to respite at 320.08 during 22 August-20 September. While the highest points for the period was on 22 August with 349.84 and the lowest was on 19 September with 317.70. <br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Investors were unsatisfied with the rate of dividend declared by different financial institutions as the proposed dividend could not meet the expectations of the investors. Dividend proposed by Standard Chartered Bank is 50 per cent (cash) while that of Nabil is 30 per cent (cash) only. Both missed the expectation of the investors.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="265" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock.jpg" style="width: 426px; height: 265px;margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="426" />However, the investors have not lost all the hopes as yet because the process to improve the regulatory environment is still going ahead. The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has granted license to Central Depository System and Clearing Ltd as per CDS regulation 2067. Now it is expected to start operation after the Dashain festivals are over. Similarly, the newly licensed 16 stock brokers also started transactions. With this the number of stock brokers has increase to 39, providing the investors expanded opportunity to choose their broker. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock1.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" />Another noteworthy event of the month was the Money Expo organized jointly by Aarthik Abhiyan and Jamb Technologies with Minds Nepal and Morningstar Investment Services Pvt. The 3-day event called "NDEX Money Expo 2011" concluded on September 14 is believed to have helped to promote investment opportunities and tools. Experts from both India and Nepal participated in various discussion programs held during the Expo on topics related to the economy, stock market, commodity market, central depository system, investment banking and so on. In one of the programme, Tanka Prasad Paneru, chairperson of Nepal Stock Exchange opined that the Nepali stock market on that week was in a correction phase and it will gallop after crossing that level. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Performance by Sector</strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="267" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock2.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="400" />Commercial banking sector holding the heavy share of trade volume in Nepal Stock Exchange dived down 44.32 points or 16.24 per cent to settle at 272.95 during the review period. Insurance sub-index lost 20.75 points to come down at 398.73. Similarly, hydropower sector descended 18.14 points along with 15.80 points decline in finance sector to arrive at 549.23 and 276.24 respectively. Others sector plummeted 8.23 points or 1.74 per cent to close at 472.34 while development bank group ebbed out 5.97 points to rest at 279.92. However manufacturing sector added 20.24 points or 3.33 per cent to reach 607.47 while trading sector gained 4.11 points to rest at 246.08.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Sensitive index that measures the performance of 117 blue chips scrip at secondary market lost 8.73 points or 11.19 per cent to reach 78.01 while the float index calculated on the basis of real transaction skid 3.31 points to arrive at 26.38.

Banking sector accounted for 58.87 per cent of total trade followed by development bank sector (13.49 per cent) and finance sector (8.10 per cent). The rest was accounted by the remaining sectors. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is shabby in both long term and short term.

Therefore, even the healthy earnings reported by the companies for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2010-11 could not lift he market. The benchmark Nepse index lost 15.68 points or 4.45% to settle at 349.85 on August 22. It was at the highest point of 365.43 on 24th July while the lowest point was on 9th August at 345.8</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Though the banks and financial institutions published their fourth quarter reports showing good financial performance in the fiscal year 2010-11 that ended on mid-July 2011, this failed to improve the sentiment of the investors. Some commercial banks such as Nabil Bank, Bank of Kathmandu and Everest Bank have already declared dividends. However the strength of such declaration has failed to improve the sentiment of stockholders.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">During the review period, International Share market slipped heavily after the rating of United States government's debt was downgraded by S&P. Major Asian, European and US market suffered heavy loss after gloomy economic overview of US and European market. However, Nepal's market was not impacted by this issue as the international market movement has little link with the Nepali bourse.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Political fever once again gripped the investors sentiment as deadline for issuing the new constitution is round the corner while the political parties seem uncertain about how to go ahead with this task. One progress of the month in the parliament was that it passed an Act related to setting up investment board that aims to facilitate foreign investors. However, the capital market is yet to test the results of this new law.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> </strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">The accompanying figure illustrates the sector-wise distribution based on total amount of trade.

Technical analysis indicates that Nepse Index should cross 380 mark before the investors can be confident to commit good money in the bourse. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The major influencing factor of the review period was the government budget for the fiscal year 2011-12. This is the first time since the Constituent Assembly election of 2008 that the government budget was announced in time, i.e. before the fiscal year started. As a result, the planned government expenditure is expected to be spent this year which will help ease the liquidity crunch in the banking system and boost economic activities around these expenditures. Moreover, the budget has also announced some direct measures that are expected to boost the market. One major announcement was the reduction in the capital gains tax in share investment from 15 percent to 10 percent for institutional investors and from 10 to five percent for the individual investors. Also announced was relaxation in the deadline for the merger of banks and financial institutions by one more year till mid-November 2012. Banks that notify the authorities by that time that they have decided to merge will get a number of concessions including the tax as was announced in the last <br /> year's budget.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"><img align="right" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="310" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/stock data august 2011.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="400" />Therefore, the benchmark Nepse index started moving up even before the budget was announced and gained 18.66 points or 5.11% during the review month to settle at 365.43. The highest point during the month was on 20 July at 380.23 and lowest on 27 June <br /> at 329.49.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Even a couple of days before the budget announcement, the Central Bank relaxed its strictures on loans to the real estate and housing sectors as well as on loans against the security of publicly traded share certificates. Similarly, the market is hoping for the banks and financial institutions to announce healthy financial positions when they make public their fourth quarterly financial reports. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Bulk trading of Friday, 15 July gained a proportion of a scandal of a sort as Friday is fixed for odd lots (smaller than 10 units of shares) transaction only.

As usual commercial bank sector covered the highest volume holding 46.69% of total trade followed by manufacturing and processing sector (43.57%). Hydropower sector occupied 3.62% and development bank sector 2.68% while other sectors made up for the rest. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is performing higher in the short term as Nepse index is higher than 30 days SMA forming M pattern which may result into correction.

The highest points in the review period was on 18 May (346.91) and the lowest was on 15 June at 292.32, which is lower that what it was on 25 Jun, 2005 (292.47). </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Nepse plummeted after a panic spread across the banking and financial institutions due to liquidity crunch and bad governance. The governance crisis which had started from Nepal Development Bank two years ago and spread to Samjhana Finance Company gripped Gurkha Development Bank and Nepal Share Markets as well. Recently, most of the banks and finance companies are suffering liquidty crisis and they are turning to Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) for help. NRB has opened refinancing facility to address the problem. Under this facility, there is a provision to provide refinance up to 60 percent of the core capital of the banks and financial institutions.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">During the review period, the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) introduced the mutual fund regulation, CDS regulation and Credit Rating Agency regulation. However, all these failed to uplift the market which fell to six years low. Therefroe, the government has urged cash rich public sector instituions namely Employees Provident Fund, Citizens Investment Trust (CIT), Rastriya Beema Sansthan and Nepal Telecom to invest in the secondary market and create demand for shares so as to boost up the market confidence.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The result has been that the market surged 60.87 points during the week 16-23 June. Also the hope that the government’s budget for the coming fiscal year that starts on mid-July will be presented to the parliament in time has helpd in the latest surge in the market. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Delay in presenting the budget for fiscal year 2010/11 is cited as the prime reason for the liquidity crunch. Due to that delay, a massive sum of Rs 30 billion in the government budget is likley to freeze as the government is not able to speed up expenditure. The delay in the current year’s budget was due to obstruction of the parliamentary proceedings by the then main opposition party UCPN-UML. But the present main opposition party Nepali Congress has indicated that it will not cause obstruction in the parliamentary proceedings related to budget approval.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <strong><span style="">Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> </span></strong></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">During the review period, the banking sector which holds the major share in the volume of trade in Nepal Stock Exchange plummeted 57.20 points or 23.02% to close at 248.44.

Also the prospect of good third quarter financial results did not help the market sentiment. The benchmark NEPSE index dropped 15.16 points or 4.16% to settle at 364.3 points. The session's highest was on 21 March with 379.46 while the session's lowest was on 29 March with 358.04.<br /> <br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Central Depository System (CDS) and Clearing Ltd was formally inaugurated on 31 March, 2011 which was keenly expected by the investors of Nepal. Despite its opening, the market could not take off as investors were more worried about the scenario after the May 28 deadline for promulgation of the country’s new constitution lapses. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt;">The automated system of CDS will facilitate speedy and safe clearing and settlement of transactions. The safety and security of the digital holding of shares will eliminate fraud and misuse of share certificates while the flow of shares will increase in the market due to instant transfer. One reaction of the market to the new development is that heavy volume of scrip was traded through matching , particularly towards the first half of April. The trade volume during the period was higher than the average despite the index closing at a lower level. The increased cases of matching during this period is explained by the fact that matching is going to be difficult under the CDS system. Therefore, the investors who had bought shares in the IPOs under fictitious names were transferring such shares on their real names and in doing so they pressed the prices lower to reduce the capital gains tax. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) organised an interaction programme during the month about the regulation it has drafted to allow setting up credit rating agencies in Nepal. This draft now needs to be approved by the Ministry of Finance beofre they can go for implementation. After the establishment of these agencies, the issues (IPO, rights) exceeding Rs. 100 million size will have to be rated by such agencies before they are floated to the public. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> <br /> </span></strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Commercial banking sector that accounts for the highest volume of trade in the exchange lost 27.73 points or 9.01% to settle at 307.73. Manufacturing and processing sector dropped 25.54 points to 500.59. to close at 434.83 and 312.1 respectively. Insurance sub-indices lost 17.30 points to settle at 448.83 while finance sector plummets 5.70 points or 1.83% to close at 310.91.

The commercial banks accounted for 44.20% whereas the insurance sector constituted 16.35% which is more than that of the finance companies which stood at 14.80%.

NEPSE was 376.77 on July 2, 2006. Though the index recovered a bit and reached 377.6 on March 20, it is still not clear whether the revival is going to hold steady. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">The reason for the latest decline in the NEPSE is the amendment proposed by some Maoist-affiliated Members of Parliament in the Bill presented to the parliament by the government to amend the Bank and Financial Institutions Act (BAFIA). The issue came out to the light after the bankers held a press conference and made the details public. The most important point objected by the bankers is the proposal by the MPs to replace the words ‘liberal economy’ by ‘self-reliant mixed economy. That is interpreted as an attempt towards curtailing economic freedom in the country. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="">As a result, the benchmark NEPSE index receded 27.60 points or 7.31% during the review period to settle at 377.6.

It wants to restrict the banks from asking any collateral security except the project properties for which the loan is being extended. But more important point that sent jitters across the market triggering a frenzy of sales is the proposal to restrict businesspersons from holding more than 5 percent of the shares in a bank or financial institution. As most of the listed companies are banks and financial institutions and such companies at present are majority-held by businesspersons, the proposed amendment is likely to force them to sell their holdings, thus increasing supply of shares in the market. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) came forward to calm the market.

The banks can now renew such loan for this year if the borrowers pay the interest. Moreover, the banks are directed not to make the margin call if the market price of the share held as security falls less than 10 percent. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="newsubhead" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">Meanwhile, the Central Depository System (CDS) is set to start from next month, according to the Central Depository System and Clearing Company formed by Nepal Stock Exchange to set up and operate such system.

Hence, it can be expected that a great momentum is not going take place very soon as the investors will take time to analyse and interpret the health of institutions and their future prospects.<br /> <br /> The outflow of fund during the time of Dashain and Tihar has also hampered the capital market of Nepal, as banking sector is facing liquidity crisis while the lending rate between the banks has also picked high. Hence, spending and withdrawals made at the festival time have affected the investing capacity of the investors. On the other hand, different banks have already declared their revised interest rate on the deposits attracting the investors to hold the capital and deposit it at the bank rather than investing in the market.</div> </div> <div style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px; width: 47%; float: right;"> <div align="justify"> The budget for the fiscal year 2010/11 delayed due to political wrangling among Nepal is and provided some ropes for merger between different financial institutions and insurance companies.

Thus the attraction of interest rates is reduced now which is expected to lure the investors back to the equity market. <br /> <br /> <br /> One important development during the review period was the approval of the guidelines for Mutual Fund.

However, this year it was not so. Many companies have already declared their earnings and announced the dividend rates while others are preparing to do so. The book closing days are also coming around for the AGMs. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">All these are making the investors to heed the market movement more closely. Investors are dismayed at the delay in the operation of CDS and Clearing Ltd. the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has started investigation on the suspicion that there has been abuse of authority in employee recruitments and in some expense of this company. Regulations of CDS and Clearing Ltd are also pending approval from the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON). One positive development of the period is the appointment of SEBON Chairperson. Newly appointed Chairperson Babu Ram Shrestha has already taken over the responsibility and it is hoped that the CDS Company will get its regulations approved soon. During the month, a number of financial institutions made some definite progress towards their plan of merger. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">As a result, the stock exchange has halted trading in the stocks of those companies. That has subdued the trading volume. Hence it can be said that the market will show sideways movement for few coming sessions. Performance by Sector Banking sector that has been dominating the volume of trade in the Kathmandu exchange lost 8.65 points or 3.09% to close at 279.69 during the review period. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Insurance sub-index plummeted 5.53 points or 1.39% to 398.14.

Finance sector accounted for 7.39% and remaining sectors made up for the rest. Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is dominating the market as 200 days SMA is far from the index while 30 days SMA is moving together with the index indicating further possibility of sideways movement for few more sessions. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><em>(Chitrakar is a Stock Analyst with Jamb Technologies Pvt Ltd.)</em></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><em><img alt="stock taking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/3(1).jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" /><br /> </em></span></p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2011-11-17', 'modified' => '2012-09-16', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => 'The Kathmandu stock exchangeebbedout marginally during the Dashain-Tihar festival season of this year as the dip in the prices of banking stocks pulled the index for most of the session.', 'sortorder' => '427', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '0' ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '479', 'article_category_id' => '42', 'title' => 'Waiting For 350(October 2011)', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => null, 'content' => '<h3 style="color: blue;"> <span style="color:#800000;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">(Nepal Stock Market Review for 22 Aug – 20 September, 2011)</span></span></h3> <p> <span style="color:#800000;"><br /> </span></p> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>By Bikram Chitrakar<br /> <br /> <br /> </strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">The Nepse Index needs to cross 350 to inspire the investors, shows this analysis. With Nepse Index continuously sliding down, the month striding over August-September period was a month of decline in the Nepali bourse. This was in spite of healthy earnings reports and dividend declaration by the companies. The entry of Maoists as the leader of the government helped in sending the mood in the exchange down because of lack of clarity about the policy of the new government. The benchmark Nepse index plummeted 29.76 points or 9.30 per cent to respite at 320.08 during 22 August-20 September. While the highest points for the period was on 22 August with 349.84 and the lowest was on 19 September with 317.70. <br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Investors were unsatisfied with the rate of dividend declared by different financial institutions as the proposed dividend could not meet the expectations of the investors. Dividend proposed by Standard Chartered Bank is 50 per cent (cash) while that of Nabil is 30 per cent (cash) only. Both missed the expectation of the investors.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="265" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock.jpg" style="width: 426px; height: 265px;margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="426" />However, the investors have not lost all the hopes as yet because the process to improve the regulatory environment is still going ahead. The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has granted license to Central Depository System and Clearing Ltd as per CDS regulation 2067. Now it is expected to start operation after the Dashain festivals are over. Similarly, the newly licensed 16 stock brokers also started transactions. With this the number of stock brokers has increase to 39, providing the investors expanded opportunity to choose their broker. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock1.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" />Another noteworthy event of the month was the Money Expo organized jointly by Aarthik Abhiyan and Jamb Technologies with Minds Nepal and Morningstar Investment Services Pvt. The 3-day event called "NDEX Money Expo 2011" concluded on September 14 is believed to have helped to promote investment opportunities and tools. Experts from both India and Nepal participated in various discussion programs held during the Expo on topics related to the economy, stock market, commodity market, central depository system, investment banking and so on.

Therefore, even the healthy earnings reported by the companies for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2010-11 could not lift he market. The benchmark Nepse index lost 15.68 points or 4.45% to settle at 349.85 on August 22. It was at the highest point of 365.43 on 24th July while the lowest point was on 9th August at 345.8</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Though the banks and financial institutions published their fourth quarter reports showing good financial performance in the fiscal year 2010-11 that ended on mid-July 2011, this failed to improve the sentiment of the investors. Some commercial banks such as Nabil Bank, Bank of Kathmandu and Everest Bank have already declared dividends. However the strength of such declaration has failed to improve the sentiment of stockholders.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">During the review period, International Share market slipped heavily after the rating of United States government's debt was downgraded by S&P.

However, Nepal's market was not impacted by this issue as the international market movement has little link with the Nepali bourse.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Political fever once again gripped the investors sentiment as deadline for issuing the new constitution is round the corner while the political parties seem uncertain about how to go ahead with this task. One progress of the month in the parliament was that it passed an Act related to setting up investment board that aims to facilitate foreign investors.

Technical analysis indicates that Nepse Index should cross 380 mark before the investors can be confident to commit good money in the bourse. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The major influencing factor of the review period was the government budget for the fiscal year 2011-12. This is the first time since the Constituent Assembly election of 2008 that the government budget was announced in time, i.e. before the fiscal year started. As a result, the planned government expenditure is expected to be spent this year which will help ease the liquidity crunch in the banking system and boost economic activities around these expenditures. Moreover, the budget has also announced some direct measures that are expected to boost the market. One major announcement was the reduction in the capital gains tax in share investment from 15 percent to 10 percent for institutional investors and from 10 to five percent for the individual investors. Also announced was relaxation in the deadline for the merger of banks and financial institutions by one more year till mid-November 2012. Banks that notify the authorities by that time that they have decided to merge will get a number of concessions including the tax as was announced in the last <br /> year's budget.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"><img align="right" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="310" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/stock data august 2011.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="400" />Therefore, the benchmark Nepse index started moving up even before the budget was announced and gained 18.66 points or 5.11% during the review month to settle at 365.43. The highest point during the month was on 20 July at 380.23 and lowest on 27 June <br /> at 329.49.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Even a couple of days before the budget announcement, the Central Bank relaxed its strictures on loans to the real estate and housing sectors as well as on loans against the security of publicly traded share certificates. Similarly, the market is hoping for the banks and financial institutions to announce healthy financial positions when they make public their fourth quarterly financial reports. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Bulk trading of Friday, 15 July gained a proportion of a scandal of a sort as Friday is fixed for odd lots (smaller than 10 units of shares) transaction only.

As usual commercial bank sector covered the highest volume holding 46.69% of total trade followed by manufacturing and processing sector (43.57%). Hydropower sector occupied 3.62% and development bank sector 2.68% while other sectors made up for the rest. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is performing higher in the short term as Nepse index is higher than 30 days SMA forming M pattern which may result into correction.

The highest points in the review period was on 18 May (346.91) and the lowest was on 15 June at 292.32, which is lower that what it was on 25 Jun, 2005 (292.47). </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Nepse plummeted after a panic spread across the banking and financial institutions due to liquidity crunch and bad governance. The governance crisis which had started from Nepal Development Bank two years ago and spread to Samjhana Finance Company gripped Gurkha Development Bank and Nepal Share Markets as well. Recently, most of the banks and finance companies are suffering liquidty crisis and they are turning to Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) for help. NRB has opened refinancing facility to address the problem. Under this facility, there is a provision to provide refinance up to 60 percent of the core capital of the banks and financial institutions.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">During the review period, the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) introduced the mutual fund regulation, CDS regulation and Credit Rating Agency regulation. However, all these failed to uplift the market which fell to six years low. Therefroe, the government has urged cash rich public sector instituions namely Employees Provident Fund, Citizens Investment Trust (CIT), Rastriya Beema Sansthan and Nepal Telecom to invest in the secondary market and create demand for shares so as to boost up the market confidence.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The result has been that the market surged 60.87 points during the week 16-23 June. Also the hope that the government’s budget for the coming fiscal year that starts on mid-July will be presented to the parliament in time has helpd in the latest surge in the market. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Delay in presenting the budget for fiscal year 2010/11 is cited as the prime reason for the liquidity crunch. Due to that delay, a massive sum of Rs 30 billion in the government budget is likley to freeze as the government is not able to speed up expenditure. The delay in the current year’s budget was due to obstruction of the parliamentary proceedings by the then main opposition party UCPN-UML. But the present main opposition party Nepali Congress has indicated that it will not cause obstruction in the parliamentary proceedings related to budget approval.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <strong><span style="">Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> </span></strong></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">During the review period, the banking sector which holds the major share in the volume of trade in Nepal Stock Exchange plummeted 57.20 points or 23.02% to close at 248.44.

Also the prospect of good third quarter financial results did not help the market sentiment. The benchmark NEPSE index dropped 15.16 points or 4.16% to settle at 364.3 points. The session's highest was on 21 March with 379.46 while the session's lowest was on 29 March with 358.04.<br /> <br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Central Depository System (CDS) and Clearing Ltd was formally inaugurated on 31 March, 2011 which was keenly expected by the investors of Nepal. Despite its opening, the market could not take off as investors were more worried about the scenario after the May 28 deadline for promulgation of the country’s new constitution lapses. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt;">The automated system of CDS will facilitate speedy and safe clearing and settlement of transactions. The safety and security of the digital holding of shares will eliminate fraud and misuse of share certificates while the flow of shares will increase in the market due to instant transfer. One reaction of the market to the new development is that heavy volume of scrip was traded through matching , particularly towards the first half of April. The trade volume during the period was higher than the average despite the index closing at a lower level. The increased cases of matching during this period is explained by the fact that matching is going to be difficult under the CDS system. Therefore, the investors who had bought shares in the IPOs under fictitious names were transferring such shares on their real names and in doing so they pressed the prices lower to reduce the capital gains tax. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) organised an interaction programme during the month about the regulation it has drafted to allow setting up credit rating agencies in Nepal. This draft now needs to be approved by the Ministry of Finance beofre they can go for implementation. After the establishment of these agencies, the issues (IPO, rights) exceeding Rs. 100 million size will have to be rated by such agencies before they are floated to the public. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> <br /> </span></strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Commercial banking sector that accounts for the highest volume of trade in the exchange lost 27.73 points or 9.01% to settle at 307.73. Manufacturing and processing sector dropped 25.54 points to 500.59. to close at 434.83 and 312.1 respectively. Insurance sub-indices lost 17.30 points to settle at 448.83 while finance sector plummets 5.70 points or 1.83% to close at 310.91.

The commercial banks accounted for 44.20% whereas the insurance sector constituted 16.35% which is more than that of the finance companies which stood at 14.80%.

NEPSE was 376.77 on July 2, 2006. Though the index recovered a bit and reached 377.6 on March 20, it is still not clear whether the revival is going to hold steady. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">The reason for the latest decline in the NEPSE is the amendment proposed by some Maoist-affiliated Members of Parliament in the Bill presented to the parliament by the government to amend the Bank and Financial Institutions Act (BAFIA). The issue came out to the light after the bankers held a press conference and made the details public. The most important point objected by the bankers is the proposal by the MPs to replace the words ‘liberal economy’ by ‘self-reliant mixed economy. That is interpreted as an attempt towards curtailing economic freedom in the country. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="">As a result, the benchmark NEPSE index receded 27.60 points or 7.31% during the review period to settle at 377.6.

It wants to restrict the banks from asking any collateral security except the project properties for which the loan is being extended. But more important point that sent jitters across the market triggering a frenzy of sales is the proposal to restrict businesspersons from holding more than 5 percent of the shares in a bank or financial institution. As most of the listed companies are banks and financial institutions and such companies at present are majority-held by businesspersons, the proposed amendment is likely to force them to sell their holdings, thus increasing supply of shares in the market. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) came forward to calm the market.

The banks can now renew such loan for this year if the borrowers pay the interest. Moreover, the banks are directed not to make the margin call if the market price of the share held as security falls less than 10 percent. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="newsubhead" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">Meanwhile, the Central Depository System (CDS) is set to start from next month, according to the Central Depository System and Clearing Company formed by Nepal Stock Exchange to set up and operate such system.

Hence, it can be expected that a great momentum is not going take place very soon as the investors will take time to analyse and interpret the health of institutions and their future prospects.<br /> <br /> The outflow of fund during the time of Dashain and Tihar has also hampered the capital market of Nepal, as banking sector is facing liquidity crisis while the lending rate between the banks has also picked high. Hence, spending and withdrawals made at the festival time have affected the investing capacity of the investors. On the other hand, different banks have already declared their revised interest rate on the deposits attracting the investors to hold the capital and deposit it at the bank rather than investing in the market.</div> </div> <div style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px; width: 47%; float: right;"> <div align="justify"> The budget for the fiscal year 2010/11 delayed due to political wrangling among Nepal is and provided some ropes for merger between different financial institutions and insurance companies.

Nepse index is overlapped with 30 days SMA showing the shabby nature of stock in the short term while in the long term it is weak. Hence, the chance of acceleration in the market is not visible; however, a few fluctuations can be expected in the short term.

Thus the attraction of interest rates is reduced now which is expected to lure the investors back to the equity market. <br /> <br /> <br /> One important development during the review period was the approval of the guidelines for Mutual Fund.

The benchmark Nepse index plummeted 3.59 points or 1.09% to close at 327.99.

However, this year it was not so. Many companies have already declared their earnings and announced the dividend rates while others are preparing to do so. The book closing days are also coming around for the AGMs. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">All these are making the investors to heed the market movement more closely. Investors are dismayed at the delay in the operation of CDS and Clearing Ltd. the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has started investigation on the suspicion that there has been abuse of authority in employee recruitments and in some expense of this company. Regulations of CDS and Clearing Ltd are also pending approval from the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON). One positive development of the period is the appointment of SEBON Chairperson. Newly appointed Chairperson Babu Ram Shrestha has already taken over the responsibility and it is hoped that the CDS Company will get its regulations approved soon. During the month, a number of financial institutions made some definite progress towards their plan of merger. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">As a result, the stock exchange has halted trading in the stocks of those companies. That has subdued the trading volume. Hence it can be said that the market will show sideways movement for few coming sessions. Performance by Sector Banking sector that has been dominating the volume of trade in the Kathmandu exchange lost 8.65 points or 3.09% to close at 279.69 during the review period. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Insurance sub-index plummeted 5.53 points or 1.39% to 398.14.

Finance sector accounted for 7.39% and remaining sectors made up for the rest. Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is dominating the market as 200 days SMA is far from the index while 30 days SMA is moving together with the index indicating further possibility of sideways movement for few more sessions. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><em>(Chitrakar is a Stock Analyst with Jamb Technologies Pvt Ltd.)</em></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><em><img alt="stock taking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/3(1).jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" /><br /> </em></span></p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2011-11-17', 'modified' => '2012-09-16', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => 'The Kathmandu stock exchangeebbedout marginally during the Dashain-Tihar festival season of this year as the dip in the prices of banking stocks pulled the index for most of the session.', 'sortorder' => '427', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '0' ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '479', 'article_category_id' => '42', 'title' => 'Waiting For 350(October 2011)', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => null, 'content' => '<h3 style="color: blue;"> <span style="color:#800000;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">(Nepal Stock Market Review for 22 Aug – 20 September, 2011)</span></span></h3> <p> <span style="color:#800000;"><br /> </span></p> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>By Bikram Chitrakar<br /> <br /> <br /> </strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">The Nepse Index needs to cross 350 to inspire the investors, shows this analysis. With Nepse Index continuously sliding down, the month striding over August-September period was a month of decline in the Nepali bourse. This was in spite of healthy earnings reports and dividend declaration by the companies. The entry of Maoists as the leader of the government helped in sending the mood in the exchange down because of lack of clarity about the policy of the new government. The benchmark Nepse index plummeted 29.76 points or 9.30 per cent to respite at 320.08 during 22 August-20 September. While the highest points for the period was on 22 August with 349.84 and the lowest was on 19 September with 317.70. <br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Investors were unsatisfied with the rate of dividend declared by different financial institutions as the proposed dividend could not meet the expectations of the investors. Dividend proposed by Standard Chartered Bank is 50 per cent (cash) while that of Nabil is 30 per cent (cash) only. Both missed the expectation of the investors.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="265" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock.jpg" style="width: 426px; height: 265px;margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="426" />However, the investors have not lost all the hopes as yet because the process to improve the regulatory environment is still going ahead. The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has granted license to Central Depository System and Clearing Ltd as per CDS regulation 2067. Now it is expected to start operation after the Dashain festivals are over. Similarly, the newly licensed 16 stock brokers also started transactions. With this the number of stock brokers has increase to 39, providing the investors expanded opportunity to choose their broker. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock1.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" />Another noteworthy event of the month was the Money Expo organized jointly by Aarthik Abhiyan and Jamb Technologies with Minds Nepal and Morningstar Investment Services Pvt. The 3-day event called "NDEX Money Expo 2011" concluded on September 14 is believed to have helped to promote investment opportunities and tools. Experts from both India and Nepal participated in various discussion programs held during the Expo on topics related to the economy, stock market, commodity market, central depository system, investment banking and so on. In one of the programme, Tanka Prasad Paneru, chairperson of Nepal Stock Exchange opined that the Nepali stock market on that week was in a correction phase and it will gallop after crossing that level. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Performance by Sector</strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="267" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock2.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="400" />Commercial banking sector holding the heavy share of trade volume in Nepal Stock Exchange dived down 44.32 points or 16.24 per cent to settle at 272.95 during the review period.

Therefore, even the healthy earnings reported by the companies for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2010-11 could not lift he market. The benchmark Nepse index lost 15.68 points or 4.45% to settle at 349.85 on August 22. It was at the highest point of 365.43 on 24th July while the lowest point was on 9th August at 345.8</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Though the banks and financial institutions published their fourth quarter reports showing good financial performance in the fiscal year 2010-11 that ended on mid-July 2011, this failed to improve the sentiment of the investors. Some commercial banks such as Nabil Bank, Bank of Kathmandu and Everest Bank have already declared dividends. However the strength of such declaration has failed to improve the sentiment of stockholders.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">During the review period, International Share market slipped heavily after the rating of United States government's debt was downgraded by S&P. Major Asian, European and US market suffered heavy loss after gloomy economic overview of US and European market. However, Nepal's market was not impacted by this issue as the international market movement has little link with the Nepali bourse.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Political fever once again gripped the investors sentiment as deadline for issuing the new constitution is round the corner while the political parties seem uncertain about how to go ahead with this task. One progress of the month in the parliament was that it passed an Act related to setting up investment board that aims to facilitate foreign investors.

Technical analysis indicates that Nepse Index should cross 380 mark before the investors can be confident to commit good money in the bourse. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The major influencing factor of the review period was the government budget for the fiscal year 2011-12. This is the first time since the Constituent Assembly election of 2008 that the government budget was announced in time, i.e. before the fiscal year started. As a result, the planned government expenditure is expected to be spent this year which will help ease the liquidity crunch in the banking system and boost economic activities around these expenditures. Moreover, the budget has also announced some direct measures that are expected to boost the market. One major announcement was the reduction in the capital gains tax in share investment from 15 percent to 10 percent for institutional investors and from 10 to five percent for the individual investors. Also announced was relaxation in the deadline for the merger of banks and financial institutions by one more year till mid-November 2012. Banks that notify the authorities by that time that they have decided to merge will get a number of concessions including the tax as was announced in the last <br /> year's budget.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"><img align="right" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="310" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/stock data august 2011.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="400" />Therefore, the benchmark Nepse index started moving up even before the budget was announced and gained 18.66 points or 5.11% during the review month to settle at 365.43. The highest point during the month was on 20 July at 380.23 and lowest on 27 June <br /> at 329.49.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Even a couple of days before the budget announcement, the Central Bank relaxed its strictures on loans to the real estate and housing sectors as well as on loans against the security of publicly traded share certificates. Similarly, the market is hoping for the banks and financial institutions to announce healthy financial positions when they make public their fourth quarterly financial reports. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Bulk trading of Friday, 15 July gained a proportion of a scandal of a sort as Friday is fixed for odd lots (smaller than 10 units of shares) transaction only.

As usual commercial bank sector covered the highest volume holding 46.69% of total trade followed by manufacturing and processing sector (43.57%). Hydropower sector occupied 3.62% and development bank sector 2.68% while other sectors made up for the rest. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is performing higher in the short term as Nepse index is higher than 30 days SMA forming M pattern which may result into correction.

The highest points in the review period was on 18 May (346.91) and the lowest was on 15 June at 292.32, which is lower that what it was on 25 Jun, 2005 (292.47). </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Nepse plummeted after a panic spread across the banking and financial institutions due to liquidity crunch and bad governance. The governance crisis which had started from Nepal Development Bank two years ago and spread to Samjhana Finance Company gripped Gurkha Development Bank and Nepal Share Markets as well. Recently, most of the banks and finance companies are suffering liquidty crisis and they are turning to Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) for help. NRB has opened refinancing facility to address the problem. Under this facility, there is a provision to provide refinance up to 60 percent of the core capital of the banks and financial institutions.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">During the review period, the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) introduced the mutual fund regulation, CDS regulation and Credit Rating Agency regulation. However, all these failed to uplift the market which fell to six years low. Therefroe, the government has urged cash rich public sector instituions namely Employees Provident Fund, Citizens Investment Trust (CIT), Rastriya Beema Sansthan and Nepal Telecom to invest in the secondary market and create demand for shares so as to boost up the market confidence.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The result has been that the market surged 60.87 points during the week 16-23 June. Also the hope that the government’s budget for the coming fiscal year that starts on mid-July will be presented to the parliament in time has helpd in the latest surge in the market. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Delay in presenting the budget for fiscal year 2010/11 is cited as the prime reason for the liquidity crunch. Due to that delay, a massive sum of Rs 30 billion in the government budget is likley to freeze as the government is not able to speed up expenditure. The delay in the current year’s budget was due to obstruction of the parliamentary proceedings by the then main opposition party UCPN-UML. But the present main opposition party Nepali Congress has indicated that it will not cause obstruction in the parliamentary proceedings related to budget approval.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <strong><span style="">Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> </span></strong></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">During the review period, the banking sector which holds the major share in the volume of trade in Nepal Stock Exchange plummeted 57.20 points or 23.02% to close at 248.44.

Also the prospect of good third quarter financial results did not help the market sentiment. The benchmark NEPSE index dropped 15.16 points or 4.16% to settle at 364.3 points. The session's highest was on 21 March with 379.46 while the session's lowest was on 29 March with 358.04.<br /> <br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Central Depository System (CDS) and Clearing Ltd was formally inaugurated on 31 March, 2011 which was keenly expected by the investors of Nepal. Despite its opening, the market could not take off as investors were more worried about the scenario after the May 28 deadline for promulgation of the country’s new constitution lapses. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt;">The automated system of CDS will facilitate speedy and safe clearing and settlement of transactions. The safety and security of the digital holding of shares will eliminate fraud and misuse of share certificates while the flow of shares will increase in the market due to instant transfer. One reaction of the market to the new development is that heavy volume of scrip was traded through matching , particularly towards the first half of April. The trade volume during the period was higher than the average despite the index closing at a lower level. The increased cases of matching during this period is explained by the fact that matching is going to be difficult under the CDS system. Therefore, the investors who had bought shares in the IPOs under fictitious names were transferring such shares on their real names and in doing so they pressed the prices lower to reduce the capital gains tax. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) organised an interaction programme during the month about the regulation it has drafted to allow setting up credit rating agencies in Nepal. This draft now needs to be approved by the Ministry of Finance beofre they can go for implementation. After the establishment of these agencies, the issues (IPO, rights) exceeding Rs. 100 million size will have to be rated by such agencies before they are floated to the public. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> <br /> </span></strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Commercial banking sector that accounts for the highest volume of trade in the exchange lost 27.73 points or 9.01% to settle at 307.73. Manufacturing and processing sector dropped 25.54 points to 500.59. to close at 434.83 and 312.1 respectively. Insurance sub-indices lost 17.30 points to settle at 448.83 while finance sector plummets 5.70 points or 1.83% to close at 310.91.

The commercial banks accounted for 44.20% whereas the insurance sector constituted 16.35% which is more than that of the finance companies which stood at 14.80%.

NEPSE was 376.77 on July 2, 2006. Though the index recovered a bit and reached 377.6 on March 20, it is still not clear whether the revival is going to hold steady. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">The reason for the latest decline in the NEPSE is the amendment proposed by some Maoist-affiliated Members of Parliament in the Bill presented to the parliament by the government to amend the Bank and Financial Institutions Act (BAFIA). The issue came out to the light after the bankers held a press conference and made the details public. The most important point objected by the bankers is the proposal by the MPs to replace the words ‘liberal economy’ by ‘self-reliant mixed economy. That is interpreted as an attempt towards curtailing economic freedom in the country. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="">As a result, the benchmark NEPSE index receded 27.60 points or 7.31% during the review period to settle at 377.6.

It wants to restrict the banks from asking any collateral security except the project properties for which the loan is being extended. But more important point that sent jitters across the market triggering a frenzy of sales is the proposal to restrict businesspersons from holding more than 5 percent of the shares in a bank or financial institution. As most of the listed companies are banks and financial institutions and such companies at present are majority-held by businesspersons, the proposed amendment is likely to force them to sell their holdings, thus increasing supply of shares in the market. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) came forward to calm the market.

The banks can now renew such loan for this year if the borrowers pay the interest. Moreover, the banks are directed not to make the margin call if the market price of the share held as security falls less than 10 percent. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="newsubhead" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">Meanwhile, the Central Depository System (CDS) is set to start from next month, according to the Central Depository System and Clearing Company formed by Nepal Stock Exchange to set up and operate such system.

Hence, it can be expected that a great momentum is not going take place very soon as the investors will take time to analyse and interpret the health of institutions and their future prospects.<br /> <br /> The outflow of fund during the time of Dashain and Tihar has also hampered the capital market of Nepal, as banking sector is facing liquidity crisis while the lending rate between the banks has also picked high. Hence, spending and withdrawals made at the festival time have affected the investing capacity of the investors. On the other hand, different banks have already declared their revised interest rate on the deposits attracting the investors to hold the capital and deposit it at the bank rather than investing in the market.</div> </div> <div style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px; width: 47%; float: right;"> <div align="justify"> The budget for the fiscal year 2010/11 delayed due to political wrangling among Nepal is and provided some ropes for merger between different financial institutions and insurance companies.

Thus the attraction of interest rates is reduced now which is expected to lure the investors back to the equity market. <br /> <br /> <br /> One important development during the review period was the approval of the guidelines for Mutual Fund.

However, this year it was not so. Many companies have already declared their earnings and announced the dividend rates while others are preparing to do so. The book closing days are also coming around for the AGMs. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">All these are making the investors to heed the market movement more closely. Investors are dismayed at the delay in the operation of CDS and Clearing Ltd. the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has started investigation on the suspicion that there has been abuse of authority in employee recruitments and in some expense of this company. Regulations of CDS and Clearing Ltd are also pending approval from the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON). One positive development of the period is the appointment of SEBON Chairperson. Newly appointed Chairperson Babu Ram Shrestha has already taken over the responsibility and it is hoped that the CDS Company will get its regulations approved soon. During the month, a number of financial institutions made some definite progress towards their plan of merger. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">As a result, the stock exchange has halted trading in the stocks of those companies. That has subdued the trading volume. Hence it can be said that the market will show sideways movement for few coming sessions. Performance by Sector Banking sector that has been dominating the volume of trade in the Kathmandu exchange lost 8.65 points or 3.09% to close at 279.69 during the review period. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Insurance sub-index plummeted 5.53 points or 1.39% to 398.14.

Finance sector accounted for 7.39% and remaining sectors made up for the rest. Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is dominating the market as 200 days SMA is far from the index while 30 days SMA is moving together with the index indicating further possibility of sideways movement for few more sessions. <br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><em>(Chitrakar is a Stock Analyst with Jamb Technologies Pvt Ltd.)</em></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><em><img alt="stock taking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/3(1).jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" /><br /> </em></span></p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2011-11-17', 'modified' => '2012-09-16', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => 'The Kathmandu stock exchangeebbedout marginally during the Dashain-Tihar festival season of this year as the dip in the prices of banking stocks pulled the index for most of the session.', 'sortorder' => '427', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '0' ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '479', 'article_category_id' => '42', 'title' => 'Waiting For 350(October 2011)', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => null, 'content' => '<h3 style="color: blue;"> <span style="color:#800000;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">(Nepal Stock Market Review for 22 Aug – 20 September, 2011)</span></span></h3> <p> <span style="color:#800000;"><br /> </span></p> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>By Bikram Chitrakar<br /> <br /> <br /> </strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">The Nepse Index needs to cross 350 to inspire the investors, shows this analysis. With Nepse Index continuously sliding down, the month striding over August-September period was a month of decline in the Nepali bourse. This was in spite of healthy earnings reports and dividend declaration by the companies. The entry of Maoists as the leader of the government helped in sending the mood in the exchange down because of lack of clarity about the policy of the new government. The benchmark Nepse index plummeted 29.76 points or 9.30 per cent to respite at 320.08 during 22 August-20 September. While the highest points for the period was on 22 August with 349.84 and the lowest was on 19 September with 317.70. <br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Investors were unsatisfied with the rate of dividend declared by different financial institutions as the proposed dividend could not meet the expectations of the investors. Dividend proposed by Standard Chartered Bank is 50 per cent (cash) while that of Nabil is 30 per cent (cash) only. Both missed the expectation of the investors.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="265" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock.jpg" style="width: 426px; height: 265px;margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="426" />However, the investors have not lost all the hopes as yet because the process to improve the regulatory environment is still going ahead. The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has granted license to Central Depository System and Clearing Ltd as per CDS regulation 2067. Now it is expected to start operation after the Dashain festivals are over. Similarly, the newly licensed 16 stock brokers also started transactions. With this the number of stock brokers has increase to 39, providing the investors expanded opportunity to choose their broker. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><img align="left" alt="stocktaking" border="1" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/oct-stock1.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" />Another noteworthy event of the month was the Money Expo organized jointly by Aarthik Abhiyan and Jamb Technologies with Minds Nepal and Morningstar Investment Services Pvt. The 3-day event called "NDEX Money Expo 2011" concluded on September 14 is believed to have helped to promote investment opportunities and tools. Experts from both India and Nepal participated in various discussion programs held during the Expo on topics related to the economy, stock market, commodity market, central depository system, investment banking and so on.

Therefore, even the healthy earnings reported by the companies for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2010-11 could not lift he market. The benchmark Nepse index lost 15.68 points or 4.45% to settle at 349.85 on August 22. It was at the highest point of 365.43 on 24th July while the lowest point was on 9th August at 345.8</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Though the banks and financial institutions published their fourth quarter reports showing good financial performance in the fiscal year 2010-11 that ended on mid-July 2011, this failed to improve the sentiment of the investors. Some commercial banks such as Nabil Bank, Bank of Kathmandu and Everest Bank have already declared dividends. However the strength of such declaration has failed to improve the sentiment of stockholders.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">During the review period, International Share market slipped heavily after the rating of United States government's debt was downgraded by S&P.

However, Nepal's market was not impacted by this issue as the international market movement has little link with the Nepali bourse.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Political fever once again gripped the investors sentiment as deadline for issuing the new constitution is round the corner while the political parties seem uncertain about how to go ahead with this task. One progress of the month in the parliament was that it passed an Act related to setting up investment board that aims to facilitate foreign investors.

Technical analysis indicates that Nepse Index should cross 380 mark before the investors can be confident to commit good money in the bourse. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The major influencing factor of the review period was the government budget for the fiscal year 2011-12. This is the first time since the Constituent Assembly election of 2008 that the government budget was announced in time, i.e. before the fiscal year started. As a result, the planned government expenditure is expected to be spent this year which will help ease the liquidity crunch in the banking system and boost economic activities around these expenditures. Moreover, the budget has also announced some direct measures that are expected to boost the market. One major announcement was the reduction in the capital gains tax in share investment from 15 percent to 10 percent for institutional investors and from 10 to five percent for the individual investors. Also announced was relaxation in the deadline for the merger of banks and financial institutions by one more year till mid-November 2012. Banks that notify the authorities by that time that they have decided to merge will get a number of concessions including the tax as was announced in the last <br /> year's budget.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"><img align="right" alt="stocktaking" border="1" height="310" hspace="5" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/stock data august 2011.jpg" style="margin:10px;padding:10px;" vspace="5" width="400" />Therefore, the benchmark Nepse index started moving up even before the budget was announced and gained 18.66 points or 5.11% during the review month to settle at 365.43. The highest point during the month was on 20 July at 380.23 and lowest on 27 June <br /> at 329.49.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Even a couple of days before the budget announcement, the Central Bank relaxed its strictures on loans to the real estate and housing sectors as well as on loans against the security of publicly traded share certificates. Similarly, the market is hoping for the banks and financial institutions to announce healthy financial positions when they make public their fourth quarterly financial reports. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Bulk trading of Friday, 15 July gained a proportion of a scandal of a sort as Friday is fixed for odd lots (smaller than 10 units of shares) transaction only.

As usual commercial bank sector covered the highest volume holding 46.69% of total trade followed by manufacturing and processing sector (43.57%). Hydropower sector occupied 3.62% and development bank sector 2.68% while other sectors made up for the rest. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Technically, Simple Moving Average (SMA) is performing higher in the short term as Nepse index is higher than 30 days SMA forming M pattern which may result into correction.

The highest points in the review period was on 18 May (346.91) and the lowest was on 15 June at 292.32, which is lower that what it was on 25 Jun, 2005 (292.47). </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Nepse plummeted after a panic spread across the banking and financial institutions due to liquidity crunch and bad governance. The governance crisis which had started from Nepal Development Bank two years ago and spread to Samjhana Finance Company gripped Gurkha Development Bank and Nepal Share Markets as well. Recently, most of the banks and finance companies are suffering liquidty crisis and they are turning to Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) for help. NRB has opened refinancing facility to address the problem. Under this facility, there is a provision to provide refinance up to 60 percent of the core capital of the banks and financial institutions.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">During the review period, the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) introduced the mutual fund regulation, CDS regulation and Credit Rating Agency regulation. However, all these failed to uplift the market which fell to six years low. Therefroe, the government has urged cash rich public sector instituions namely Employees Provident Fund, Citizens Investment Trust (CIT), Rastriya Beema Sansthan and Nepal Telecom to invest in the secondary market and create demand for shares so as to boost up the market confidence.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The result has been that the market surged 60.87 points during the week 16-23 June. Also the hope that the government’s budget for the coming fiscal year that starts on mid-July will be presented to the parliament in time has helpd in the latest surge in the market. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Delay in presenting the budget for fiscal year 2010/11 is cited as the prime reason for the liquidity crunch. Due to that delay, a massive sum of Rs 30 billion in the government budget is likley to freeze as the government is not able to speed up expenditure. The delay in the current year’s budget was due to obstruction of the parliamentary proceedings by the then main opposition party UCPN-UML. But the present main opposition party Nepali Congress has indicated that it will not cause obstruction in the parliamentary proceedings related to budget approval.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <strong><span style="">Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> </span></strong></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.15pt; line-height: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">During the review period, the banking sector which holds the major share in the volume of trade in Nepal Stock Exchange plummeted 57.20 points or 23.02% to close at 248.44.

Also the prospect of good third quarter financial results did not help the market sentiment. The benchmark NEPSE index dropped 15.16 points or 4.16% to settle at 364.3 points. The session's highest was on 21 March with 379.46 while the session's lowest was on 29 March with 358.04.<br /> <br /> <br /> </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Central Depository System (CDS) and Clearing Ltd was formally inaugurated on 31 March, 2011 which was keenly expected by the investors of Nepal. Despite its opening, the market could not take off as investors were more worried about the scenario after the May 28 deadline for promulgation of the country’s new constitution lapses. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt;">The automated system of CDS will facilitate speedy and safe clearing and settlement of transactions. The safety and security of the digital holding of shares will eliminate fraud and misuse of share certificates while the flow of shares will increase in the market due to instant transfer. One reaction of the market to the new development is that heavy volume of scrip was traded through matching , particularly towards the first half of April. The trade volume during the period was higher than the average despite the index closing at a lower level. The increased cases of matching during this period is explained by the fact that matching is going to be difficult under the CDS system. Therefore, the investors who had bought shares in the IPOs under fictitious names were transferring such shares on their real names and in doing so they pressed the prices lower to reduce the capital gains tax. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) organised an interaction programme during the month about the regulation it has drafted to allow setting up credit rating agencies in Nepal. This draft now needs to be approved by the Ministry of Finance beofre they can go for implementation. After the establishment of these agencies, the issues (IPO, rights) exceeding Rs. 100 million size will have to be rated by such agencies before they are floated to the public. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Performance by Sector<br /> <br /> <br /> </span></strong></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Commercial banking sector that accounts for the highest volume of trade in the exchange lost 27.73 points or 9.01% to settle at 307.73. Manufacturing and processing sector dropped 25.54 points to 500.59. to close at 434.83 and 312.1 respectively. Insurance sub-indices lost 17.30 points to settle at 448.83 while finance sector plummets 5.70 points or 1.83% to close at 310.91.

The commercial banks accounted for 44.20% whereas the insurance sector constituted 16.35% which is more than that of the finance companies which stood at 14.80%.

NEPSE was 376.77 on July 2, 2006. Though the index recovered a bit and reached 377.6 on March 20, it is still not clear whether the revival is going to hold steady. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">The reason for the latest decline in the NEPSE is the amendment proposed by some Maoist-affiliated Members of Parliament in the Bill presented to the parliament by the government to amend the Bank and Financial Institutions Act (BAFIA). The issue came out to the light after the bankers held a press conference and made the details public. The most important point objected by the bankers is the proposal by the MPs to replace the words ‘liberal economy’ by ‘self-reliant mixed economy. That is interpreted as an attempt towards curtailing economic freedom in the country. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="">As a result, the benchmark NEPSE index receded 27.60 points or 7.31% during the review period to settle at 377.6.

It wants to restrict the banks from asking any collateral security except the project properties for which the loan is being extended. But more important point that sent jitters across the market triggering a frenzy of sales is the proposal to restrict businesspersons from holding more than 5 percent of the shares in a bank or financial institution. As most of the listed companies are banks and financial institutions and such companies at present are majority-held by businesspersons, the proposed amendment is likely to force them to sell their holdings, thus increasing supply of shares in the market. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="BODYTEXT" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) came forward to calm the market.

The banks can now renew such loan for this year if the borrowers pay the interest. Moreover, the banks are directed not to make the margin call if the market price of the share held as security falls less than 10 percent. <br /> </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="newsubhead" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="MyriadPro"><span aldine401="" letter-spacing:="" style="font-family: ">Meanwhile, the Central Depository System (CDS) is set to start from next month, according to the Central Depository System and Clearing Company formed by Nepal Stock Exchange to set up and operate such system.

The Nepse index went down 6.70 points or 1.60 per cent to settle at the review period's low of 419.63 while the highest point of the period was 426.33 on 24 Oct.<br /> <br /> During the review period, most of the companies declared their dividend and book closing date and published first quarter financial reports and company analysis. Hence, it can be expected that a great momentum is not going take place very soon as the investors will take time to analyse and interpret the health of institutions and their future prospects.<br /> <br /> The outflow of fund during the time of Dashain and Tihar has also hampered the capital market of Nepal, as banking sector is facing liquidity crisis while the lending rate between the banks has also picked high. Hence, spending and withdrawals made at the festival time have affected the investing capacity of the investors. On the other hand, different banks have already declared their revised interest rate on the deposits attracting the investors to hold the capital and deposit it at the bank rather than investing in the market.</div> </div> <div style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px; width: 47%; float: right;"> <div align="justify"> The budget for the fiscal year 2010/11 delayed due to political wrangling among Nepal is and provided some ropes for merger between different financial institutions and insurance companies.

Nepse index is overlapped with 30 days SMA showing the shabby nature of stock in the short term while in the long term it is weak. Hence, the chance of acceleration in the market is not visible; however, a few fluctuations can be expected in the short term.
