KATHMANDU: The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) Chief Executive Officer Chudamani Chapagain resigned on Monday, submitting his resignation to Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle before completing his tenure.

Chapagain said the decision was based on personal reasons and was not influenced by government pressure.

Appointed by the Council of Ministers in March 2025, he had remained in office despite changes to previous appointments through an ordinance. The Ministry of Finance will now begin the process of appointing a new NEPSE CEO.
