The Securities Board of Nepal has published a draft of new regulations on the registration and issuance of debentures, dated 2083 BS, and invited stakeholders to comment. According to the notice, anyone with opinions, suggestions or reactions should email them to support@sebon.gov.np within seven days of the notice being published. The board says it will study the submissions before giving the rules their final form. The regulator frames the draft as part of a wider shift in its policy. Its capital market development roadmap for 2083 BS, published under a programme of macro reform, sets a target of moving Nepal's capital market from an equity-centric market towards a multi-product capital market. The board's policy for the fiscal year 2083/84 BS also includes a programme to develop a corporate bond market. According to the notice, the board wants a deeper and more liquid market for debentures and bonds, with greater attention to risk management. It says a corporate bond market is needed if Nepal's debenture market is to become more diversified, competitive and transparent. Under the draft, eligible organised institutions other than banks and financial institutions would be able to mobilise long-term financial resources by issuing debentures. The board says the provisions draw on international good practice and aim to make registration and issuance more systematic, transparent, effective and up to date. The draft was discussed by the board's law-strengthening committee, which submitted it with revisions before it was released for consultation. A summary of the proposal, its main features and the points the board particularly wants discussed are available as a separate document alongside the full draft on the board's website.
