🏦 1.4 मौद्रिक नीति (Monetary Policy) — NRB को मुख्य भूमिका ★

परिभाषा: मौद्रिक नीति भनेको Central Bank (NRB) ले मुद्राको आपूर्ति, ब्याजदर र कर्जाको उपलब्धता नियन्त्रण गरेर अर्थतन्त्रको स्थायित्व कायम गर्ने नीति हो।

उद्देश्य Target
मूल्य स्थायित्व (Price Stability) CPI Inflation ≤ 7%
वित्तीय प्रणाली स्थायित्व BFI का NPL ≤ 5%, CAR ≥ 11%
बाह्य क्षेत्र स्थायित्व Foreign Reserve ≥ 7 months import
आर्थिक वृद्धि सहयोग GDP Growth support (Secondary Goal)
Monetary Policy Tool विवरण हाल Nepal
Policy Rate (Bank Rate) NRB ले BFI लाई दिने ऋणको ब्याजदर 5%
CRR Cash Reserve Ratio — NRB मा जम्मा गर्नुपर्ने % 4%
SLR Statutory Liquidity Ratio — Liquid Assets % 10%
OMO Open Market Operations — Securities Buy/Sell नियमित प्रयोग
Interest Rate Corridor Deposit Facility Rate ↔ Lending Facility Rate 4%-6%
Credit Ceiling Total Credit Growth limit Annual MP मा निर्धारण

💹 1.5 वित्तीय नीति (Fiscal Policy)

परिभाषा: वित्तीय नीति भनेको सरकारले Government Expenditure र Taxation मार्फत अर्थतन्त्र नियन्त्रण गर्ने नीति हो।

पक्ष Fiscal Policy Monetary Policy
निकाय अर्थ मन्त्रालय (MoF) NRB (Central Bank)
औजार Tax, Government Spending, Subsidies Policy Rate, CRR, OMO
लक्ष्य Employment, Growth, Distribution Inflation, BOP, Financial Stability
Speed Slow (Budget approval) Faster (NRB Directive)
Crowding Out Govt Borrowing बढे Private Investment घट्छ Interest Rate Tool बाट नियन्त्रण
💡 Coordination: NRB र MoF को Monetary-Fiscal Coordination महत्त्वपूर्ण। Expansionary Fiscal Policy संगसंगै Contractionary Monetary Policy भए Crowding Out हुन सक्छ।
