Share market and banking services will not be closed in the Kathmandu Valley despite the ban. The government has decided to issue a restraining order in the Kathmandu Valley from 12 noon on Thursday. However, the stock market and banking services will remain open during this period.

The Nepal Stock Exchange has issued a public notice stating that the share market will be fully open. Nepse has stated that the market should not be closed as the shares can be bought online from home and the payment for the purchase and sale of shares can be taken or paid directly to the bank account through Connect IPS.

This service will not be closed as it falls under the same banking essential service. Nepal Rastra Bank has directed to provide services by following the health related standards.
