During a recent Finance Committee meeting, Chairman Ramesh Kumar Hamal of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) accused a group of 50 brokers of taking away a significant portion, around 70%, of the profits. Chairman Hamal mentioned that he has addressed the investors’ demands over the past 15 years.
Chairman Hamal highlighted that the capital market investors’ longstanding requests for an open broker system and licenses for subsidiary companies of banks have finally been fulfilled. This milestone signifies the first instance in Nepal where three types of broker services have received official licenses.
