. The government has adopted a policy to develop new financial instruments through the capital market to mobilize long-term investment in renewable energy and hydropower projects.
According to the capital market policy and program for the fiscal year 2083÷84 released by the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) recently, environment-friendly financial instruments including ‘green bonds’ will be developed to raise necessary investment in the hydropower and renewable energy sector.
The arrangement for mobilizing the capital required for the construction of hydropower projects through the capital market will be strengthened. The government hopes that this will help mobilize long-term finance for clean energy projects.
Similarly, the policy also includes the plan to operate an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) to attract collective investment in the hydropower sector by providing an opportunity to the investors to diversify their investment. SEBON believes that the implementation of modern financial instruments such as green bonds and ETFs will increase the participation of institutional and general investors in the hydropower and renewable energy sector, facilitate capital mobilization and contribute to sustainable energy development.
