Nepal Rastra Bank announced on June 24, 2026, that it planned to absorb Rs 70 billion from the banking system for a period of 79 days through an online auction scheduled for 3:00 PM that day. The move is part of the central bank's ongoing liquidity management operations.
The absorption of funds through the bidding process is a standard NRB tool used to manage excess liquidity in the banking system, which can otherwise put downward pressure on interest rates.
