What is actually wrong with recent Monetary Policy Review?
By far the most important determinant; interest rates are going down even further, foreigners can now invest and take returns back. There is so much liquidity that the NRB has to pull money. This looks like a ripe time for bull. I don’t see how the monetary policy review is supposed to be damaging for sentiment.
Limiting Big kheladis to small loans only means there will be lesser incentives for market manipulations which means a greater confidence for general investors. But ofc the media run by kheladi houses are going to put bad news for limiting them.
what does the review actually have to outweigh all the strong bullish signs we now have?
