Ruling coalition partner CPN (Maoist Center's) decision to withdraw support from the government caused the share market to lose Rs 9.8 billion in a single day.
The market saw a roller coaster ride today during the intra-day trading, after the party withdrew its support from the Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli government.
The total market capitalisation fell to Rs 1,826.64 billion by the closing of the trading today, from today morning's opening of Rs 1,836.44 billion. The benchmark Nepse index also shed 9.2 points, or 0.54 per cent, to close the market at 1693.07 points.
