Message from President

The Confederation of Banks and Financial Institutions Nepal (CBFIN) serves as the unified voice of Nepal’s commercial banks, development banks, and finance companies. As the apex body of the banking and financial sector, CBFIN is committed to safeguarding financial stability, strengthening institutional integrity, and advancing the sector’s contribution to national economic development.

Banks and financial institutions (BFIs) in Nepal play a pivotal role in supporting customers, entrepreneurs, investors, communities, and the Government of Nepal. Even amid economic uncertainty and global disruptions, the financial sector has demonstrated resilience by mobilizing savings, extending credit, sustaining enterprises, generating employment, and contributing significantly to investment and public revenue. CBFIN proudly represents this collective strength and works to ensure that the sector remains a cornerstone of economic recovery and long-term growth.

As an umbrella organization, CBFIN protects and promotes the interests of BFIs while serving as a credible platform for constructive dialogue with regulators, policymakers, and key stakeholders. Through continuous engagement with Nepal Rastra Bank, the Ministry of Finance, and national and international partners, CBFIN advocates for sound policies, financial sector health, innovation, and financial inclusion.

Since the economic liberalization of the 1990s, Nepal’s financial sector has emerged as a key pillar of the national economy. CBFIN remains dedicated to strengthening this foundation through research, policy advocacy, and collaboration—working toward a resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking financial system that supports a prosperous Nepal.
