KATHMANDU, July 19: Newly-appointed Minister for Finance Bishnu Paudel has appointed Mahesh Baral as the chairman of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON), replacing Narendra Kumar Rana, who was appointed by former finance minister Barshaman Pun.

According to the provisions of the Securities Act, 2063 BS, if the position of chairman of SEBON falls vacant, a member representing the Ministry of Finance will act as the interim chairman. Baral is currently serving as the Chief Customs Administrator at Tribhuvan International Airport Customs Office.
