The document summarizes Nepal's money and capital markets. The money market is narrow and deals in short-term instruments like treasury bills traded between the central bank and commercial banks. The capital market has a growing primary market that raises funds through shares, bonds and debentures, and a secondary market for trading existing securities on the Nepal Stock Exchange. Though the stock market has expanded, it remains dominated by banks and influenced by non-economic factors, with low representation from the real sector of the economy. Recent reforms aim to modernize trading and increase literacy.
