Kathmandu. The Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank, Dr. Vishwanath Poudel, today announced the 25th monetary policy for the fiscal year 2083 and 84. This year's monetary policy has placed special emphasis on digital financial instruments and regulatory simplification to support the high economic growth target of 7 percent.
The most important and innovative aspect of the monetary policy this time is the announcement to start the study of personal credit scoring 'peer to peer' transaction system. The National Bank is now going to carry out a detailed study for the development of a platform where loans can be transacted directly between individuals. In other words, after the PTP platform is established, a bank is not necessarily required to take a loan.
