Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) on March 25 had delcared GDB a ´troubled´ bank and directed to elect a new BoD by holding special general assembly within 15 days.
The new BoD is likely to hold discussions with senior NRB officials to work out its plans. “The board is positive about opening the bank from coming Sunday. It, however, depends on our discussion with NRB officials,” a senior official at the bank told Republica. The official further said the bank has deposit of Rs 4.19 billion and loans and advances of Rs 4.29 billion as of Monday.
