BFIs in Nepal adopted merger strategy very lately; though it has more than 120 years long history internationally. Previously, NRB adopted the liberal licensing policy as the consequence there was a tremendous growth in numbers of BFIs and now the overcrowding is hurting the financial sector. The concept of M&A was an entirely new thing to the Banking and Financial Institutions (BFIs) of Nepal when the Nepal Rastra Bank, supervisory and regulatory body of all the BFIs has issued merger by-laws in May 2011. The objective of the merger by-laws was to strengthen the BFIs position and performance by reducing the number of institutions.

Thus the study will try to identify following queries regarding mergers in Nepalese financial institutions:

§  What is the impact of merger in the financial performance of banks?

§  What are the challenges BFIs face during merger process in Nepal?

§  What are the major benefits of merger for BFIs in Nepal?

§  What is the current market situation and what is it likely to be in future for BFIs?

§  What are the factors affecting merger process in Nepal?

§  How the management, investors, employees and regulating body perceives the merger process?
