July 17, 2019 | Investopaper

The banking sector is currently going through the merger and acquisition phase. Nepal Rastra Bank, the central bank of Nepal is trying to reduce the number of financial institutions in Nepal. In order to strengthen the financial condition, the central bank has forced the BFI to undergo the merger/acquisition. At current period, several A-class commercial banks and B-class development banks are eyeing on the finance companies. To improve the capital size and balance sheet, the big banks are making the strategy to acquire suitable finance companies. So, it might be a good time to grab the stocks of finance companies at current cheap prices. After the acquisition, investors are likely to make a handsome profit as seen in the past mergers/acquisition.
