KATHMANDU: Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) has expressed concern over misleading and unauthorized content related to the stock market circulating on social media.
In an official statement, NEPSE spokesperson Murahari Parajuli said false claims, fake stock tips, buy-sell recommendations, and counterfeit videos or audios in NEPSE’s name have appeared online, which could negatively affect investors’ confidence.
“NEPSE does not provide advice to buy or sell any securities, does not guarantee returns, nor specifies purchase or sale prices. Any content suggesting otherwise is entirely misleading and unauthorized,” the statement read.
NEPSE clarified that all official information, notices, and press releases are shared exclusively through its website and official social media accounts. The exchange warned that using NEPSE’s name without authorization, creating apps, websites, or chat groups with similar names, constitutes a punishable offense.
The exchange urged investors not to trade based on rumors, inducements, or information from unauthorized chat groups, Clubhouse, Telegram, or similar platforms.
Additionally, NEPSE cautioned the public against sharing personal information or passwords on platforms using NEPSE’s name, logo, or images of its building. Suspicious content should be reported to NEPSE via email with a screenshot and link.
