Financial sector still at risk: IMF

The stress tests of commercial banks indicate that Nepali financial sector is facing higher credit risk and liquidity risk, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) report.
"Stress tests undertaken on the Class A banks by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) indicate credit and liquidity risks, though because of the unreliable data issues, the results may be overly optimistic," the report on Financial Stability of Nepal prepared by IMF stated.
The subsequent downgrading of loans from performing to substandard and finally to loss indicates the credit related risk being faced by the banks, it said, adding that the numbers of loans being downgraded is increasing as 15 per cent of performing loans were downgraded to substandard, 15 per cent of substandard loans were downgraded to doubtful, and 25 per cent of doubtful loans were downgraded to loss loans and five per cent of performing loans have been downgraded to loss.
"Financial sector poses higher credit risk due to the over-exposure to real estate which is not in good shape right now," pointed out spokesperson for Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Bhaskar Mani Gyanwali.
The indicators suggested deterioration in asset quality because of real estate collaterals that have seen downward revision in prices. Since the real estate market has cooled down so that 25 per cent of performing real estate and home loans has possibility of becoming bad loans, it suspected.
Currently, the sector has borrowed over Rs 120 billion from the financial institutions.
Though the financial institutions are comfortable liquidity currently. The IMF has, however, pointed out severe liquidity risks. "The situation has improved in last few months as deposits have grown since the beginning of current fiscal year," informed Gyanwali.
"Though both kinds of risks have moderated in recent times there is still need to keep an eye on few financial institutions for being relatively more vulnerable," he added.
The report has also attributed under-reporting of Non Performing Loans (NPL) by a large number of banks as a serious concern that prevents detection of problems in early stage.
The Fund has suggested stronger regulation and enforcements to keep the financial institutions under check to avoid financial institutions going bad. "The central bank is more vigilant in detecting any misrepresentation in financial data reporting but unfortunately there are numbers of financial institutions that manipulate balance sheet to show better health," the central bank spokesperson added.

Hey this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have observed that costs for internet degree authorities tend to be an awesome value.
Like a full Bachelor's Degree in Communication from The University of Phoenix Online consists of 60 credits with $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online gives a Bachelors of Business Administration with a complete program element of 180 units and a tariff of $30,560. Online degree learning has made getting your higher education degree far less difficult because you could earn your degree in the comfort in your home and when you finish from office. Thanks for other tips I have learned through the web site.

One thing I'd prefer to discuss is that fat reduction plan fast may be possible by the correct diet and exercise. Your size not only affects the look, but also the quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, plus physical abilities are disturbed in ex. It is possible to make everything right and still gain. If this happens, a problem may be the primary cause. While excessive food but not enough work out are usually accountable, common medical ailments and popular prescriptions can greatly amplify size. Thanks alot : ) for your post

Thanks for your posting. What I want to say is that when looking for a good
on-line electronics shop, look for a web page with total information on key elements such
as the privacy statement, security details, any payment procedures, and other terms in addition to policies.
Continually take time to investigate the help and FAQ pieces to get a much better idea
of what sort of shop works, what they can perform for you, and in what
way you can make the most of the features.
