The financial sector in Nepal is operating in an increasingly complex and interconnected environment shaped by rapid digital transformation, evolving regulatory expectations, climate related risks, geopolitical uncertainties, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence. These shifts have introduced new and unchartered risk dimensions that demand a more integrated, forward looking, and resilient approach to risk management across banking, insurance, and capital markets. While Nepal’s financial system has made notable progress in strengthening regulatory frameworks and institutional risk practices, emerging global and domestic trends—such as enterprise wide risk integration, AI driven decision making, data privacy concerns, systemic risk propagation, and cross sector interdependencies—necessitate deeper engagement among regulators, industry leaders, and international experts.
In this context, National Banking Institute (NBI) is pleased to announce a one-day Risk Management Conference 2026. The program is designed as a high-level knowledge sharing and dialogue platform that brings together key regulators, policymakers, industry practitioners, and global experts to examine the evolving risk landscape, assess preparedness, and explore future ready risk governance frameworks. Through expert led sessions and a multi regulatory panel discussion, the program aims to bridge global perspectives with national priorities and foster coordinated efforts to strengthen financial system resilience in Nepal.
