What Is a Global Depository Receipt (GDR)?
A GDR is a financial instrument issued by a bank representing ownership in a foreign company's shares. It allows a company to be traded on international exchanges without going through the full listing process of that exchange.
| How GDR Works | Detail |
|---|---|
| 1. Nepali company | NEPSE-listed company decides to raise international capital |
| 2. Depository bank | An international bank (e.g., Deutsche Bank, BNY Mellon) holds the Nepali shares |
| 3. GDR issued | Bank issues GDR certificates representing ownership — listed on London, Singapore, etc. |
| 4. Foreign investors | International investors buy GDRs on their local exchange in USD/GBP/SGD |
| 5. Capital flows | Foreign currency flows into Nepal — company gets international funding |
Why Does Nepal Need GDRs?
Nepal's capital market is tiny compared to its needs. NEPSE's total market cap is roughly $13-15 billion — a fraction of what Nepal's infrastructure, hydropower, and industrial sectors require. GDRs allow Nepal's best companies (large banks, hydropower firms, Nepal Telecom) to tap international capital pools worth trillions of dollars.
NRN Secondary Market Participation
Over 4 million Nepalis work abroad. Until now, they couldn't directly invest in NEPSE-listed shares while living abroad. Budget 2083 changes this — NRNs can open NRN investment accounts and participate in NEPSE's secondary market. This channels remittance savings into productive equity investment rather than pure consumption.
✅ Merits
⚠️ Challenges
गैर-आवासीय नेपाली (NRN) लाई NEPSE द्वितीयक बजार पहुँच।
GDR के हो?
GDR एउटा वित्तीय उपकरण हो जसले विदेशी लगानीकर्ताले नेपाली कम्पनीको स्वामित्व अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय बजारमा किन्न सक्छन्। ठूलो अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय पुँजी बजारमा प्रवेश।
नेपाललाई किन चाहिन्छ?
