NEPSE, the only Stock Exchange in Nepal, introduced fully automated screen based trading from 24th August, 2007. Significant developments have been made in the secondary market in recent years, especially after the GoN decided to reform the capital market.
The computerized trading system has replaced the open-cry-out system. The NEPSE trading system is called ‘NEPSE Automated Trading System (NATS)’ which adopts the principle of an order driven market.
NEPSE has implemented the wide area network (WAN) system. Hence trading can be done either from NEPSE’s trading floor or from the broker’s office. NEPSE uses a sophisticated technology to help brokers easily perform their transactions.
