What is NEPSE (Nepal Stock Exchange)?
नेपाल स्टक एक्सचेन्ज
NEPSE is the Nepal Stock Exchange — the country's only secondary share market, based in Kathmandu. It lists banks, hydropower, insurance and other companies, and its movements are tracked by the NEPSE Index. Trading is regulated by SEBON.
NEPSE began trading in 1994. Investors buy and sell shares through licensed brokers; transactions attract brokerage, a SEBON fee, a DP charge and capital-gains tax.
The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) is the market regulator; CDSC handles depository and settlement.
