KATHMANDU:
Nepal Stock Exchange (Nepse) will soon install digital signage that provides real-time trading information at various locations across the capital to lure more Nepalis towards the stock market and also to provide live stock prices to investors in various public areas.
“Nepse will place visual display boards at strategic locations in the valley so that public are aware of stock price movements,” informed managing director of Nepse Sitaram Thapaliya during a programme held to mark the stock exchange’s 20th anniversary.
In addition, the live trading data will also be displayed through
different channels. The move is supposed to create awareness among the general public about stock trading. In addition, it is also expected to reduce traffic at stock exchange’s official website. Nepse’s official website has not been functioning well lately, as the system cannot handle heavy traffic.
Thapaliya also informed that the stock exchange is ready to float Expression of Interest (EoI) to hire consultants for introduction of the internet-based trading at the stock exchange. “The consultant will suggest whether to replace or upgrade the existing trading system so as to make the stock trading compatible with internet-based trading,” informed Thaapaliya.
Moreover, the system will also have block trading window for market makers and dealers, which the current trading system lacks.
