Nepal Rastra Bank has extended the timeframe for Infrastructure Development Banks to trade loans by three years, allowing such transactions until mid-July 2028. Previously limited to the first four years of operation, banks can now continue loan purchases, repurchases and takeovers within set limits. The revised directive permits trading of infrastructure loans above Rs 300 million, provided it does not exceed one-third of the previous quarter’s lending portfolio. Transactions will not be allowed during the final month of the fiscal year to maintain financial discipline.
