Responding to queries raised during the theoretical discussion on ‘Citizen Investment Trust (Third Amendment) Bill, 2083’ in today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, Minister Dr Wagle stressed that such types of Trust must be mobilized in a secure and result-oriented manner to balance the internal and external resources.
He clarified that the government should be serious towards risk management on the issue that to what extent public funds created by depositing people’s savings be made flexible in the situation where national savings could not cover it.
