Symposium on money laundering
Kathmandu, March 21:
Nepal needs to take strong measures to stop money-laundering as it might destroy the complete financial system of the country, said Dipendra Bahadur Chhetry, central bank
governor inaugurating a day-long symposium on ‘Money Laundering’, here in the Valley
yesterday.
“The financial sector could help check the money laundering,” he added.
“The financial institutions should strictly follow the anti-money laundering law as its their
responsibility, the governor of the central bank — that has prepared a draft regulation on money laundering — said.
Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) is also going to strengthen its Financial Information Cell (FIC) to
keep track of in-flow and out-flow of money.
Around 250 participants took part in symposium.
