In the financial year 2079/80, the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) achieved a remarkable milestone by approving initial public offerings (IPOs) worth over 22 billion rupees. This surpasses the previous record set in the financial year 2077/78, when SEBON allowed IPOs worth 15 billion 18 crores. Chairman Ramesh Hamal led the effort, breaking the previous record set during Bhishma Raj Dhungana’s tenure.
