Kathmandu, September 19:

Nepali share prices jumped to a new high on Wednesday with the Nepse index surging past 837 points mark — a new record in the Nepse’s 14-year long history — buoyed by the bonus shares and cash dividend by some of the banks to increase their paid up capital according to the Nepal Rastra Bank’s (NRB) directives.

The Nepse floor opened at 827.74 points today morning and increased by 10.18 points to register 837.92 at the closing of the day.
