Banking Khabar\/<\/b> Banks will no longer be required to maintain an additional capital buffer, known as the countercyclical buffer. Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) issued a circular announcing this change, relieving banks from the obligation to set aside this extra capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the NRB’s circular, effective from Shrawan 2081 (July 2024), the countercyclical buffer will be set at zero percent for the fiscal year 2081\/82. Previously, the central bank had mandated this additional capital requirement at the end of the fiscal year 2079\/80.<\/span><\/p>\n

The requirement to maintain such a buffer is based on the relationship between the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and credit growth. According to the Capital Framework 2015, NRB had imposed a 0.5% buffer capital requirement for the previous fiscal year. This framework stipulates that when the ratio or distance between GDP and credit growth ranges from 5 to 15 or higher, banks are required to hold an additional capital buffer of 0.5% to 2.5%. In the last fiscal year, banks were required to maintain an additional 0.5% capital buffer.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
