Secured Lending Program - Easing Access to Credit (english version)

Collateral facilitates credit by reducing the potential loss lenders face from non-payment. While land and buildings are widely accepted as collateral for loans, the use of movable collateral is restricted by absent or ill functioning secured lending laws and registries. Reforming the moveable collateral framework thus enables businesses to leverage the greatest part of their assets and obtain credit for growth.

Nepal - Feasibility Study on Establishment of Secured Transactions Registry (March 2008)

In 2006, the Government of Nepal enacted the Secured Transactions Act (ST Act). The overarching goal of ST Act is to reduce risks associated with extending credit, thereby increasing opportunities for economic expansion. At its core, the ST Act allows use of all types of movable assets as collateral and stipulates the creation of a Secured Transactions Registry. While the Act has been in force, it can not be fully implemented as the Secured Transactions Registry, as stipulated by the Act, has not yet been established. In this respect, Government of Nepal requested a World Bank-FIAS- IFC SEDF team to conduct a feasibility study and provide recommendations as to the necessary steps to establish the Secured Transactions Registry. The assessment team examined the legal mandates in the ST Act with the goal of establishing a registry system.
