'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">November 14: The government's move of banning plastic production citing environmental issues has become the prime reason for the closure of nearly 200 plastic industries. Using the section 7 of Environment protection Act, 2053, the government had banned the production, import, storage and sales of plastic since April 14, 2015. According to Sarad Sharma, President of Nepal Plastic Manufacturers' Association, only 150 plastic industries are being operated after the closure of 200 industries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The plastic manufacturers claim that the government is trying to close the industries instead of stressing execution of the directive that has set standard of plastic. "The government's move has caused heavy losses to the entrepreneurs," said Sharma. The government's move has caused deterioration of domestic investment, however, raised import of foreign plastic product in the Nepali market. As per Sharma, more than 4000 workers lost direct employment due to the closure of plastic industries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, department of environment said that although the government has banned the production of below standard plastic bags, most of the plastic industries in and around the valley are still into operation. According to the department, it had restricted production, sales and distribution of plastic bags below 30 microns. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, the government started inspection of the plastic industries that are producing plastic product below standard. It has also taken action against those industries who failed to recuperate as per the government's directive. </p>

It has been proved by the interest rate provided on deposit and loan extension by the banks and financial institutions (BFIs) and the open market operation of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB. According to experts, increase in deposit and lending interest rate by the most of the BFIs and significant reduction in the amount of reverse repo by the NRB signifies the lowering liquidity in the market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">NRB that was regularly mopping up Rs 10 billion regularly in 1 or 2 weeks time lag through reverse repo has reduced the amount to Rs 500 million. The bank issued the reverse repo of Rs 3.20 billion only once since September. "The bank which was issuing reverse repo of Rs 10billion has decreased the amount to Rs 500 million which clearly indicates the declining liquidity in the market," said a former banker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bank was issuing reverse repo of Rs 10 billion weekly till September 7 which it decreased to Rs 4 billion on September 14 indicating the lack of excess liquidity. After that, the bank mopped up Rs 1 billion each time except for October 5, in which the bank issued reverse repo of Rs 5 billion. However, as the banks demanded high interest rate, the bank moped up Rs 3.20 billion from the market. The incident proved that the excess liquidity that was prevailed in the financial market has ended, as per the banker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> "After October 26, the NRB has issued reverse repo of Rs 500 million only. Moreover, the BFIs are also attracting deposit on an increased interest rate. Thus, the market is surely losing the excess liquidity," he said. Narayan Prasad Poudel, Spokesperson of NRB also accepts the decline in excess liquidity. "Bankers have started to mention the liquidity problem. On early September also, the market had no significantly higher liquidity when the NRB issued Rs 10 billion worth of reverse repo. However, demand of loan might have been decreased," he said. He opined that the NRB reduces the reverse repo amount as mopping up of higher amount increased the interbank interest rate. </p>

According to Sarad Sharma, President of Nepal Plastic Manufacturers' Association, only 150 plastic industries are being operated after the closure of 200 industries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The plastic manufacturers claim that the government is trying to close the industries instead of stressing execution of the directive that has set standard of plastic. "The government's move has caused heavy losses to the entrepreneurs," said Sharma. The government's move has caused deterioration of domestic investment, however, raised import of foreign plastic product in the Nepali market. As per Sharma, more than 4000 workers lost direct employment due to the closure of plastic industries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, department of environment said that although the government has banned the production of below standard plastic bags, most of the plastic industries in and around the valley are still into operation. According to the department, it had restricted production, sales and distribution of plastic bags below 30 microns. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, the government started inspection of the plastic industries that are producing plastic product below standard. It has also taken action against those industries who failed to recuperate as per the government's directive. </p>

'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">November 13: The excess liquidity that was prevailed in the financial market is apparently declining in the recent days. It has been proved by the interest rate provided on deposit and loan extension by the banks and financial institutions (BFIs) and the open market operation of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB. According to experts, increase in deposit and lending interest rate by the most of the BFIs and significant reduction in the amount of reverse repo by the NRB signifies the lowering liquidity in the market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">NRB that was regularly mopping up Rs 10 billion regularly in 1 or 2 weeks time lag through reverse repo has reduced the amount to Rs 500 million. The bank issued the reverse repo of Rs 3.20 billion only once since September. "The bank which was issuing reverse repo of Rs 10billion has decreased the amount to Rs 500 million which clearly indicates the declining liquidity in the market," said a former banker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bank was issuing reverse repo of Rs 10 billion weekly till September 7 which it decreased to Rs 4 billion on September 14 indicating the lack of excess liquidity. After that, the bank mopped up Rs 1 billion each time except for October 5, in which the bank issued reverse repo of Rs 5 billion. However, as the banks demanded high interest rate, the bank moped up Rs 3.20 billion from the market. The incident proved that the excess liquidity that was prevailed in the financial market has ended, as per the banker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> "After October 26, the NRB has issued reverse repo of Rs 500 million only. Moreover, the BFIs are also attracting deposit on an increased interest rate. Thus, the market is surely losing the excess liquidity," he said. Narayan Prasad Poudel, Spokesperson of NRB also accepts the decline in excess liquidity. "Bankers have started to mention the liquidity problem. On early September also, the market had no significantly higher liquidity when the NRB issued Rs 10 billion worth of reverse repo. However, demand of loan might have been decreased," he said. He opined that the NRB reduces the reverse repo amount as mopping up of higher amount increased the interbank interest rate. </p>
