'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>

'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">November 11:<strong> </strong>In the wake of ban on banknotes of denominations INR 500 and INR 1,000 in India, many Nepalis have also been facing problems. The affected ones include general people, businessmen, employees and those travelling for education and treatment to India. Not only the ones who regularly used to go to the other side of the Nepal-India border for shopping, people who have kept small amount of Indian Currency with themselves also have been affected by the demonetisation. The Indian government earlier this week ordered the withdrawal of the bank notes from circulation in a bid to take out untaxed money. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to the decision, the Indian citizens who have come for treatment purposes in Nepal have also been experiencing troubles. Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has prohibited the exchange of INR 500 and INR 1000 banknotes from Wednesday after the demonetisation move in India. This has led to problems in cash transactions in the markets of Nepal-India border areas. Not only the residents of border areas, general people in Kathmandu are also worried about the exchange of the Indian currency. On Thursday, around 400 people queued in front of NRB office Thapathali to exchange their money. According to NRB Spokesperson Narayan Prashad Poudel, the central bank has requested the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to exchange the demonetised banknotes. NRB has requested RBI to facilitate the Nepalis to exchange the banknotes they have with INR 25,000 rupees per person. "The government, foreign ministry and the finance ministry are also in talks with RBI to resolve this issue," says Paudel. However, Nepali authorities have not received any response from the Indian banking authority.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Border markets directly affected</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The border market in the country's eastern region including Kakadvitta, Biratnagar and Mechinagar along with the western areas of Mahendranagar, Nepalgunj, Dhangadi, Bhimduttanagar and Gaddachauki have been directly affected by the ban.</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>

'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">November 11:<strong> </strong>In the wake of ban on banknotes of denominations INR 500 and INR 1,000 in India, many Nepalis have also been facing problems. The affected ones include general people, businessmen, employees and those travelling for education and treatment to India. Not only the ones who regularly used to go to the other side of the Nepal-India border for shopping, people who have kept small amount of Indian Currency with themselves also have been affected by the demonetisation. The Indian government earlier this week ordered the withdrawal of the bank notes from circulation in a bid to take out untaxed money. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to the decision, the Indian citizens who have come for treatment purposes in Nepal have also been experiencing troubles. Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has prohibited the exchange of INR 500 and INR 1000 banknotes from Wednesday after the demonetisation move in India. This has led to problems in cash transactions in the markets of Nepal-India border areas. Not only the residents of border areas, general people in Kathmandu are also worried about the exchange of the Indian currency. On Thursday, around 400 people queued in front of NRB office Thapathali to exchange their money. According to NRB Spokesperson Narayan Prashad Poudel, the central bank has requested the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to exchange the demonetised banknotes. NRB has requested RBI to facilitate the Nepalis to exchange the banknotes they have with INR 25,000 rupees per person. "The government, foreign ministry and the finance ministry are also in talks with RBI to resolve this issue," says Paudel. However, Nepali authorities have not received any response from the Indian banking authority.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Border markets directly affected</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The border market in the country's eastern region including Kakadvitta, Biratnagar and Mechinagar along with the western areas of Mahendranagar, Nepalgunj, Dhangadi, Bhimduttanagar and Gaddachauki have been directly affected by the ban.</p>
