According to the new provision of the central bank, credit card holders can now withdraw only 10 percent cash from their credit limit. Analysts say this provision encourages credit card holders to carry out cashless transaction.</p> <p> The new directive issued by the central bank’s Payment System Department on Friday, May 24, discourages cash transaction by credit card holders in normal condition. The bank earlier on July 15, 2018 had restricted cash withdrawal from credit cards to 25 percent of the total credit limit.</p> <p> According to the bank, it took the measure to significantly reduce cash withdrawal after finding that the credit card users were withdrawing cash massively. The new directive states that the card holders should withdraw 10 percent cash from the credit limit only during emergencies.</p> <p> Prepaid card doesn’t have such limitations. At present, debit card users are allowed to withdraw cash from Rs 500 to Rs 25,000 at a time. </p> <p> The central bank has made it mandatory to make cash withdrawal from credit cards available even if the issuer and acquirer are from different institutions and that the charges levied for the transaction service should be made public.</p> <p> Likewise, the new directive of Nepal Rastra Bank has also notified that pin numbers are not required for the customers in transactions up to Rs 2000 at a time through Near Field Communication Technology (NFCT) card issued by the banks and financial institutions (BFIs). BFIs themselves should manage the risks and transaction number, states the directive.</p> <p> Likewise, customers can make a maximum payment of up to 50,000 daily through mobile banking. But in cases where there are no billing system or transaction details available, customers can deposit or withdraw amount worth only Rs 100,000 per month through mobile banking.</p> <p> <img alt="" src="/app/webroot/userfiles/images/Clipboard01%2815%29.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 450px;" /></p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-05-26', 'modified' => '2019-05-26', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '10511', 'image' => '20190526024929_NRB Facebook.jpg', 'article_date' => '2019-05-26 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 3 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10759', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Nepal’s Import Stands at Staggering Rs 1.1 trillion', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 26: The import of goods to Nepal in the first 10 months of the current fiscal year stood at a staggering Rs 1.1 trillion while the export remained merely Rs 78 billion.', 'content' => '<p> May 26: The import of goods to Nepal in the first 10 months of the current fiscal year stood at a staggering Rs 1.1 trillion while the export remained merely Rs 78 billion.</p> <p> According to a report released by the Department of Customs on Friday, May 24, the country imported the highest value of goods from India worth Rs 761 billion during the review period while it exported goods worth Rs 50 billion to the southern neighbour.</p> <p> Likewise, goods worth Rs 17.8 billion were exported to China while Nepal imported goods worth Rs 169 from the northern neighbour. </p> <p> According to the report, petroleum products, vehicles and iron were the major import of Nepal.</p> <p> During the review period, Nepal imported petroleum products worth Rs 261.09 billion and iron and steel products worth Rs 119.8 billion.</p> <p> Likewise, the country imported machineries and equipment worth Rs 155 billion, vehicles worth Rs 77 billion, electric appliances of Rs 72.8 billion, consumable goods of Rs 44 billion, vegetables of Rs 24 billion and fruits of Rs 15.4 billion. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-05-26', 'modified' => '2019-05-26', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '10510', 'image' => '20190526022115_aaaa.jpg', 'article_date' => '2019-05-26 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => null, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 4 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10758', 'article_category_id' => '236', 'title' => 'Shrinkhala Khatiwada appointed Brand Ambassador of Agni Group', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 26: Former Miss Nepal Shrinkhala Khatiwada has been appointed as the brand ambassador of Agni Group, the authorized distributor of Mahindra & Mahindra vehicles in Nepal.', 'content' => '<p> May 26: Former Miss Nepal Shrinkhala Khatiwada has been appointed as the brand ambassador of Agni Group, the authorized distributor of Mahindra & Mahindra vehicles in Nepal.</p> <p> Executive Director of Agni Group Arjun Sharma made the announcement amid a function organised on May 24.

The CMP of 9<sup>th</sup> Jestha is below the Pivot of 12<sup>th</sup> Jestha and the volume is lower than that of last traded volume. Analyzing this we can say that the market now is in stalemate.</p> <p> 2. Observing today’s candle stick pattern, market had average day which seems more like it is “Evening Star”. Observing the candle stick patterns of past days we see the formation of “Dark Cloud Cover”. This suggests an opportunity for the shorts to capitalize on the next day’s open: a warning sign to bullish investors</p> <p> 3. Choppy trend can be observed these days as we can see the candle sticks are hovering in the same range of 1300 to 1320 which is not exactly giving the sign; either the trend is upward or downward.</p> <p> 4. This may be the time for buyers and sellers to have patience because no actual trend is observed. There is a fluctuation in the market which is uncertain. Risk takers can invest in a suitable stock.</p> <p> 5. This week we can observe that the turnover of the market is greater than that of last week this gives us a sign that the buyers and sellers are now active in online trade.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-05-24', 'modified' => '2019-05-24', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '10506', 'image' => '20190524031008_n.JPG', 'article_date' => '2019-05-24 00:00:00', 'homepage' => true, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '22' ) ), (int) 8 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10754', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'International Tourism on the Rise: WTO barometer', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 24: International tourism continued to grow over the first quarter of 2019, according to the latest issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.', 'content' => '<p> May 24: International tourism continued to grow over the first quarter of 2019, according to the latest issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.</p> <p> The barometer maintained by the World Tourism Organization that monitors global tourism trends states that the average 4 percent increase of tourism worldwide is a “very positive sign” though the growth is at a slower rate when compared with the last two years.</p> <p> The Middle East (8 percent) and Asia and the Pacific (6 percent) experienced the highest increase in international arrivals, according to a statement issued by UNWTO.

The CMP of 9<sup>th</sup> Jestha is below the Pivot of 12<sup>th</sup> Jestha and the volume is lower than that of last traded volume. Analyzing this we can say that the market now is in stalemate.</p> <p> 2. Observing today’s candle stick pattern, market had average day which seems more like it is “Evening Star”. Observing the candle stick patterns of past days we see the formation of “Dark Cloud Cover”. This suggests an opportunity for the shorts to capitalize on the next day’s open: a warning sign to bullish investors</p> <p> 3. Choppy trend can be observed these days as we can see the candle sticks are hovering in the same range of 1300 to 1320 which is not exactly giving the sign; either the trend is upward or downward.</p> <p> 4. This may be the time for buyers and sellers to have patience because no actual trend is observed. There is a fluctuation in the market which is uncertain. Risk takers can invest in a suitable stock.</p> <p> 5. This week we can observe that the turnover of the market is greater than that of last week this gives us a sign that the buyers and sellers are now active in online trade.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-05-24', 'modified' => '2019-05-24', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '10506', 'image' => '20190524031008_n.JPG', 'article_date' => '2019-05-24 00:00:00', 'homepage' => true, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '22' ) ), (int) 8 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10754', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'International Tourism on the Rise: WTO barometer', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 24: International tourism continued to grow over the first quarter of 2019, according to the latest issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.', 'content' => '<p> May 24: International tourism continued to grow over the first quarter of 2019, according to the latest issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.</p> <p> The barometer maintained by the World Tourism Organization that monitors global tourism trends states that the average 4 percent increase of tourism worldwide is a “very positive sign” though the growth is at a slower rate when compared with the last two years.</p> <p> The Middle East (8 percent) and Asia and the Pacific (6 percent) experienced the highest increase in international arrivals, according to a statement issued by UNWTO.

The CMP of 9<sup>th</sup> Jestha is below the Pivot of 12<sup>th</sup> Jestha and the volume is lower than that of last traded volume. Analyzing this we can say that the market now is in stalemate.</p> <p> 2. Observing today’s candle stick pattern, market had average day which seems more like it is “Evening Star”. Observing the candle stick patterns of past days we see the formation of “Dark Cloud Cover”. This suggests an opportunity for the shorts to capitalize on the next day’s open: a warning sign to bullish investors</p> <p> 3. Choppy trend can be observed these days as we can see the candle sticks are hovering in the same range of 1300 to 1320 which is not exactly giving the sign; either the trend is upward or downward.</p> <p> 4. This may be the time for buyers and sellers to have patience because no actual trend is observed. There is a fluctuation in the market which is uncertain. Risk takers can invest in a suitable stock.</p> <p> 5. This week we can observe that the turnover of the market is greater than that of last week this gives us a sign that the buyers and sellers are now active in online trade.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2019-05-24', 'modified' => '2019-05-24', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '10506', 'image' => '20190524031008_n.JPG', 'article_date' => '2019-05-24 00:00:00', 'homepage' => true, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '22' ) ), (int) 8 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '10754', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'International Tourism on the Rise: WTO barometer', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 24: International tourism continued to grow over the first quarter of 2019, according to the latest issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.', 'content' => '<p> May 24: International tourism continued to grow over the first quarter of 2019, according to the latest issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.</p> <p> The barometer maintained by the World Tourism Organization that monitors global tourism trends states that the average 4 percent increase of tourism worldwide is a “very positive sign” though the growth is at a slower rate when compared with the last two years.</p> <p> The Middle East (8 percent) and Asia and the Pacific (6 percent) experienced the highest increase in international arrivals, according to a statement issued by UNWTO.

Analyzing this we can say that the market now is in stalemate.</p> <p> 2. Observing today’s candle stick pattern, market had average day which seems more like it is “Evening Star”. Observing the candle stick patterns of past days we see the formation of “Dark Cloud Cover”. This suggests an opportunity for the shorts to capitalize on the next day’s open: a warning sign to bullish investors</p> <p> 3. Choppy trend can be observed these days as we can see the candle sticks are hovering in the same range of 1300 to 1320 which is not exactly giving the sign; either the trend is upward or downward.</p> <p> 4. This may be the time for buyers and sellers to have patience because no actual trend is observed. There is a fluctuation in the market which is uncertain. Risk takers can invest in a suitable stock.</p> <p> 5.
