A team from Bangladesh’s Howladar Yunus & Co., working with Nepal Rastra Bank, has wrapped up a comprehensive review of the loan portfolios of Nepal’s ten largest commercial banks. The review—part of IMF Extended Credit Facility requirements—assessed loan documentation, core banking systems, project progress, and repayment status. Banks examined include Global IME, Nabil, Nepal Investment Mega, Rastriya Banijya, Kumari, Laxmi Sunrise, Prabhu, Himalayan, NMB, and NIC Asia. Around 25 indicators were used to evaluate asset quality. The final report will be submitted soon, and any irregularities will be communicated to the respective banks for clarification and corrective action.
