Frequently asked questions
What is the regulatory environment for private equity in Nepal?
Nepal's private equity regulation is underdeveloped compared to India or Southeast Asian peers. Foreign investment restrictions, capital controls, and an illiquid public market complicate both fund formation and exit planning. A domestic firm like Global Equity Fund operates under Nepali company and securities law, but the specific regulatory permissions governing its fund structure are not publicly documented.
