Noting that transparency and good governance are important in any organization, CEO Chapagain said that this is what investors are looking for. \u2018Investors are assessing how transparent we are,\u2019 he said, \u2018because they are watching whether there is an environment for investment in the market. Therefore, as a market operator, I will emphasize on making NEPSE more transparent.\u2019 <\/p>\n
The newly appointed CEO Chapagain said that there is a need to further spread public awareness about the stock market. \u2018For that, I work from my place,\u2019 he said, \u2018as public awareness increases, the size of the stock market increases, and transactions increase. It will help in market expansion.’<\/p>\n
Noting that the government’s revenue will also increase as the market grows, Chapagain said that increasing the size of the market will make it easier for companies to raise capital, which will also have a positive impact on GDP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
