Welcome! Today, we’re going to delve into an exciting success story of a bank merger in Nepal. This is part of the larger trend of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that have been reshaping Nepal’s banking industry.
What’s Happening? M&A is when two or more companies join together to achieve common goals, or when one company completely takes over another. In Nepal, the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has been encouraging M&A among Banking and Financial Institutions (BFIs) to solve problems caused by too much competition.
Why Did NRB Encourage M&A? The NRB saw that too many BFIs were leading to issues like poor performance. So, they introduced the Merger Bylaws Policy in 2011 to make banks stronger and promote healthy competition. They later updated this policy in 2016 to include acquisition rules.
Successful Mergers in Nepal Several banks in Nepal have successfully merged:
- Shine Resunga Development Bank Ltd. in 2013
- Shangrila Development Bank Ltd., Deva Development Bank Ltd., and Kailash Bikas Bank Ltd. in the following years
- Global IME Bank with Bank of Kathmandu

- Nepal Investment Bank merged with Mega Bank
- Garima Bikas Bank Ltd., Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank Ltd., and others also merged successfully
The Impact of Mergers These mergers have made the banking sector in Nepal stronger and more efficient. They’ve also made banking services better for the people of Nepal.
