Nepal Rastra Bank has announced the issuance of Rs. 35 billion worth of central bank bonds with a maturity period of one year as part of its liquidity management operations.
According to the notice issued by the central bank’s Monetary Management Department, the bond titled “NRB Bond 2084 ‘Ka’” will be issued on Asar 16, 2083. Participation in the bidding process is limited only to licensed Class ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ banks and financial institutions, and bids must be submitted electronically through NRB’s online bidding system before 3:00 PM on the issuance date.
The interest rate of the bond will not be fixed in advance. Instead, it will be determined through a competitive bidding process. Investors purchasing the bonds will receive interest payments every six months, while the full principal amount will be repaid upon maturity on Asar 16, 2084.
Under the issuance terms, participating institutions must place a minimum bid of Rs. 50 million (Rs. 5 crore). Any bid above that threshold must be submitted in multiples of Rs. 50 million, up to the total issue size of Rs. 35 billion.
NRB has also clarified that these bonds can be used as collateral for borrowing from the central bank or other financial institutions. However, the invested amount cannot be counted toward mandatory Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) requirements, although it will qualify toward Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) obligations.
The central bank further warned that institutions receiving allocations must maintain sufficient funds on the settlement date. Failure to do so will result in a 2.50% financial penalty and a six-month suspension from participating in future open market operation auctions.
The move is generally viewed as a liquidity management tool that allows NRB to absorb excess liquidity from the banking system while maintaining monetary stability.
