Nepse index surges past previous high to 1,088.42 points

The bull run witnessed in the country’s only secondary market since the past two months continued in the trading week of August 9 to 14, driving up the Nepal Stock Exchange (Nepse) index to close at nearly a seven-year high of 1,088.42 points. The benchmark index soared by 48.06 points or 4.62 per cent week-on-week to breach the previous high of 1,083.55 points that was recorded on July 21, last year.

Investor optimism following the central bank’s latest monetary policy requiring financial institutions to increase their paid-up capital has been further boosted by the positive development at the political front.

Consequently, starting the week at the previous week’s close of 1,040.36 points, the benchmark index surged by 23.05 points by the day’s closing on Sunday. The Nepse index ascended by another 17.95 points on Monday, but shed 3.58 points and 0.59 points on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, due to profit-booking. However, the local bourse more than regained all the loss on Thursday by climbing 11.23 points. The last time Nepse had closed at the current level was on August 26, 2008, when it had rested at 1,087.80 points.

All in all, 5.56 million units of shares of 168 companies worth Rs 3.18 billion were traded at Nepse during the trading week through 21,487 transactions. The traded amount was 28.55 per cent higher than the preceding week when 17,482 transactions of 4.84 million scrips of 172 firms worth Rs 2.48 billion had been undertaken.
The sensitive index, which gauges the performance of class ‘A’ stocks, rose by 12.03 points to 234.81 points. Similarly, the float index that measures the performance of shares actually traded also added 2.96 points to land at 77.46 points during the review period.
While trading remained constant at 212.92 points, hydropower and finance were the only two subgroups to record losses.

The bull run in the stock market can be attributed to the massive demand for stocks of commercial banks as the banking subgroup has the highest stake in Nepse’s market capitalisation. The banking sub-index increased by 72.43 points to 1,021.34 points. Nabil Bank’s stocks closed at Rs 2,500 (up Rs 200), Standard Chartered’s at Rs 2,730 (up Rs 402), and Nepal Investment Bank’s at Rs 1,000 (up Rs 199), among others.

Unilever’s scrips gaining a hefty Rs 2,300 to close at Rs 23,700 helped the manufacturing subgroup to more than recover the loss of the previous week and ascend by an impressive 125.29 points to rest at 1,802.76 points.

Hotels went up by 11.59 points to 1,875.79 points. Even as Oriental’s scrips dropped by Rs 28 to Rs 585 and Taragaon’s dipped by four rupees to land at Rs 241, the loss was offset by Soaltee’s shares edging up by eight rupees to Rs 438.

Nepal Telecom’s share value went up by six rupees to close at Rs 621, which in turn pulled up the others subgroup by 7.04 points to 729.57 points.

Development banks inched up by 2.85 points to 856.83 points. On the other hand, hydropower slumped by 40.38 points to 2,101.55, as Chilime’s shares lost Rs 61 to land at Rs 1,520 and Ridi Hydropower’s was down Rs 12 to Rs 395.
Likewise, finance dipped by 4.2 points to 539.28 points.NIC Asia Bank topped the chart in terms of number of shares traded and turnover, with 342,000 of its scrips worth Rs 281.57 million changing hands. Everest Bank with

Nepal Telecom services income grows by 4.49%

Nepal Telecom (NT) has witnessed growth in its income from services by 4.49 per cent. Its unaudited financial report of the last fiscal year 2014-15 shows that the company earned Rs 37.18 billion.
The state-owned company’s income during the fiscal year 2013-14 was Rs 35.58 billion from services. This means the company has managed to post growth in its income from voice and data services, even though the company provided services worth Rs 1.46 billion for free immediately after the devastating quake of April 25.
The company’s total earning, including other incomes like interest on corporate bonds, debentures, pension fund and bank deposits in the last fiscal year stood at Rs 41.18 billion and net profit has gone up by double digits of 20 per cent in the last fiscal year to Rs 13.87 billion, against Rs 11.55 billion in the previous fiscal year.
However, the state-owned company has said that its net profit is subject to change depending on the decision regarding the GSM mobile licence renewal fee.
“The liability fee, if confirmed and quantified, will result in further cost to the company and hence, net profit after tax will be reduced,” as per the financial report.
As the government was yet to fix the revised rate of licence renewal fee, NTA in fiscal year 2013-14 had renewed its GSM mobile operating licence by paying only Rs 189 million against Rs 20 billion based on the existing provision. In the last fiscal year, the company’s expenditure came down to Rs 22.27 billion, down from previous fiscal year’s Rs 24.27 billion. This is solely because of decline in expense under the licensee fee.
As per the financial report, NT’s licence fee expense stood at Rs 64.73 million in the last fiscal year, while it was at Rs 3.35 billion in the corresponding year. All of its other expenses, including staff salary, operation and maintenance, administrative costs, royalty, contribution to Rural Telecommunication Development Fund, frequency fee and interest on subscribers have gone up.- Ktmpost

Development banks licensed to operate in one-district ask NRB to lower new capital requirement

Expressing dissatisfaction over the recent decision of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) to increase their minimum paid-up capital requirement by 25 times, development banks licensed to operate in only one district have urged the central bank to increase their paid-up capital by only four times like other bank and financial institutions (BFIs).

Unveiling the Monetary Policy for Fiscal Year 2015/16, NRB asked BFIs to raise their minimum paid-up capital within two years. It has already directed them to present their capital plan with a clear timetable to its BFIs Regulation Department by mid-September.

While the NRB has asked commercial banks, other development banks and finance companies to raise paid-up capital by four times only, development banks operating in one to three districts have been asked to raise their paid-up capital by 25 times to Rs 500 million.

In a meeting with Meeting NRB Deputy Governor Gopal Prasad Kaphle on Friday, Development Bankers Association Nepal (DBAN) requested the central bank to revisit the decision. Bankers of development banks licensed to operate in only one district told Kaphle that it was almost impossible for them to arrange such a massive paid-up capital within two year.

"The delegation of DBAN, comprising of CEOs of 10 one-district development banks, requested the central bank to lower the paid-up capital requirement as it is difficult for them to increase the capital by 25 times," Krishna Prasad Lamichhane, president of DBAN, told Republica. "Their concern is that the capital is too high for the promoters to put in extra money while they will not be acquired or merged by other capital-starved BFIs as their low-capital will mean nothing for the partner."

According to DBAN President Lamichhane, bankers of the one-district level development banks have sought the option from the central bank to be downgraded to 'D' class micro finance if new paid-up capital requirement cannot be lowered.

According to NRB, there are 12 one-district level development banks across the country.-Republica
