सिन्डिकेट, कार्टेल र नेपाल

यसमा कुनै शंका छैन कि पश्चिम नेपाल सुन्दर छ तर त्यस सुन्दरता मा दाग लाग्न थालेको छ, वा भनौं दाग लगाउन थालिएको छ । कसले गरिरहेको छ त त्यस्तो? खुद त्यहीँ बसोबास गर्नेहरुले यसरी दाग लगाउने गरेका छन् – जानी वा नजानी । यस लेखको प्रसङ्ग लगानी क्षेत्रमा देखिने सिन्डिकेट नै हो तर त्यो विषयको गहनतामा जानभन्दा अगाडि म आफैले केहि दिन अघि पश्चिममा सिन्डिकेटले अस्त–व्यस्त बनाएको दिनचर्या लाई यससंग जोड्न चाहन्छु ।  कुरा सुरु गरौं एउटा व्यापारीको कथाबाट । पश्चिममै बसोबास गर्ने एक नयाँ व्यापारीले एउटा नयाँ लक्जरी बस किन्नुभयो र काठमाडौं देखि पश्चिमको कुनै स्थानसम्म बस संचालन गर्ने जमर्को गरे तर सफल भएनन् । यातायात सिन्डिकेटमा त नेपालको पश्चिमी क्षेत्रले संसारमै नाम कमाउँछ जस्तो छ चाँडै । ती व्यापारीले उनीहरुको प्रचलित संघ वा महासंघ को सदस्यता लिएर पनि बस संचालन गर्न पाउने भएनन् – कारण उनी आफ्नो आमाको नाम दिएर बस संचालन गर्न चाहन्थे । उहाँलाई पश्चिमको कुनै रुटमा बस चलाउने भए संघ वा महासंघले भनेकै नाम राख्नुपर्ने बाध्यता थोपरियो ।  यो अवस्था थाहा पाउँदा मलाई सम्झना आयो नेपालमा पूर्वति...

Nepali Budget Mania!

A lot of things have already been printed, discussed and elaborated about the recently announced Nepali Budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This piece of article will not talk every details of the Budget, but some major portions of the budget that have direct relations to the investment of the general public. To start with, the first encouraging thing would be that the budget has come very close to the declaration of Policies and Programs of Nepal. This will lit-up some hope about the long-awaited coordination in the national programs. And, the practically accepted fact would be that Nepal has not targeted over-ambitious growth rate. Poverty and Inflation are two major dimensions I would like to focus first. Nepali documents proudly show that the poverty rate has been decreased from almost 49 percent during 8 th plan period to 23.8 percent currently but many times, the average figures are ambiguous. Many times average values make worst things look good, in the same way, a very ...

Success Needs Time!

Image
The topic reminds me of a popular diagram I first saw the Facebook where there were two simple sketches trying to portray the picture of success. One showed that people expect the success was a straight line of 45 degrees mostly, but sometimes the angle might change. Whereas, the reality is that the way to success is way too zigzag and with numerous twists and turns. It is a lesson for those who believe actions are as easier done as said. The bottom-line of the preview is that MEX Nepal has finally succeeded in adding up Silver to its trading platform as a deliverable product. Yes, it took a long time to materialize the idea. But, finally Mercantile Exchange Nepal Limited has started the physical delivery of Silver through the exchange platform. Such initiatives are very tedious to kick off independently and similarly, we have also been joined hands by the Century Commercial Bank Limited, a popular commercial country in the country for the accomplishment of the same endeavor. It ...

Metals: Trendish in 2014

Image
Metals are one of the major commodities that are traded in the exchanges all around the globe. In the commodity markets, metals are very luring for the investors. The reasons for the higher demand of the metal commodities are the higher values of the commodities and comparatively easier analytical forecast. Usually, metals can be divided into: Precious Metals and Base Metals (Industrial Metals). The examples of Precious Metals are Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, etc. whereas the examples of base metals are copper, zinc, nickel, aluminum, etc. When the world came across the global financial crisis during 2008/09, the prices of not only metals, but many others collapsed. By now, most of the prices have revived already and few are very close to doing the same. It was already in February of 2011 when the World Bank metals price index increased by 164 percent to reach the value of 126 in comparison to the low of December 2008. There were several increases as such with major commodi...
