Trading of the merged company’s shares will not be halted

KATHMANDU: Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has made arrangements not to stop the share trading of companies that are going to merge.

The National Bank has made such an arrangement through the monetary policy of the current financial year.

There was a provision that shares (securities) trading in NEPSE would be stopped when banks and financial institutions were going through merger (merger process) or attainment (acquisition).

Due to this arrangement, even on the basis of rumors that a company is merging with another company, the turnover and price of that company’s shares in the stock market increased.

According to the regulations of the Securities Board, the trading of securities will continue even during the period of merger or acquisition.
