The CAN Federation has called on the government to make Nepal’s digital marketplace secure, simple, and sovereign. Submitting policy recommendations on the proposed E-commerce Directives 2025, the federation emphasized that the growth of e-commerce depends on security, simplicity, and sovereignty. It recommended the introduction of a National Minimum Security Standard (NMSS) that goes beyond general data protection rules. The federation also proposed issuing a ‘Trust Seal’ to compliant platforms to boost consumer confidence. Senior Vice-President and cybersecurity expert Chiranjivi Adhikari presented the recommendations.
