I, sincerely express my gratitude from the depth of my heart to all the members of our association for trusting me with the responsibility of the president of the Stock Brokers’ Association of Nepal (SBAN) and I feel pride and fully responsible in assuming that role.
SBAN has a history of almost 28 years. It has experienced many ups and downs during that long period. SBAN is the more responsible association trusted by the government, regulators, exchange, investors, media and other capital market stakeholders. The success of SBAN is solely the result of the commitment and contribution of past leaders, executive committee members and solidarity among the fraternity.
One of the main objectives of SBAN is developing a healthy capital market through resourceful and responsible broker members, their transparent, legal and ethical conduct and appropriate and time-relevant policy suggestions. SBAN also aims to advocate for members’ rights for their security and business expansion. My tenure as the president will be focused towards fulfilling these broader objectives. It would be more compelling and creates a sense of responsibility if the plans of current executive committee under my leadership will be rolled out.
Following are some of the plans that will be implemented during my tenure in addition to fulfilling above mentioned broader objectives:
· Up gradation/establishment of SBAN Secretariat on its own property.
· Undertaking investor awareness program in an organized way as a part of members’ CSR.
· Conducting training, seminars, interactions and workshops for the professional development of members and employees.

I am confident that my seniors, members of the advisory board and all members will provide appropriate guidance and support in achieving these objectives and implementing plans and programs. I have complete faith in executive committee members and members of sub-committees for the success of our tenure in achieving these results.

Thank You.
