The Reserve Bank of Nepal (NRB) has kept its key policy interest rates unchanged, opting for a cautiously flexible monetary policy stance.
The central bank’s decision reflects a desire to maintain stability while supporting the government’s target of 7 percent economic growth for the coming period.
In a targeted shift, the NRB has eased lending conditions for electric vehicles (EVs) and borrowers under financial stress.
This selective relaxation aims to stimulate specific sectors and provide relief to vulnerable segments of the economy without broadly loosening monetary conditions.
The move aligns with broader regional trends toward green finance and financial inclusion.
Despite the supportive measures, the central bank issued warnings regarding external threats to its macroeconomic targets.
