What does it do?

  • This Act made Nepal a member of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank Group's private-sector arm, on the terms the IFC's Board of Governors set out in Schedule 1. It lets the Minister of Finance authorise a person in writing to sign the IFC's Articles of Agreement for Nepal and to deposit Nepal's instrument of acceptance with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.यो ऐनले अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय फाइनान्स कर्पोरेसन (IFC), अर्थात् विश्व बैङ्क समूहको निजी क्षेत्रमा लगानी गर्ने संस्थाको सदस्यता नेपाललाई अनुसूची–१ मा उल्लिखित गभर्नर बोर्डका सर्तमा प्राप्त गराएको हो। यसले अर्थमन्त्रीलाई कर्पोरेसन सम्झौतामा हस्ताक्षर गर्न र नेपालको स्वीकृतिको लिखत अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय पुनर्निर्माण तथा विकास बैङ्कमा दाखिल गर्न कुनै व्यक्तिलाई लिखित अख्तियारी दिने अधिकार दिएको छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Preamble and Section 3, pp. 1–2; Schedule 1, pp. 4–5
  • Under the membership terms, Nepal subscribes to 55 shares of the IFC's capital stock at USD 1,000 each. The Minister of Finance may pay the sums due to the IFC from the Federal Consolidated Fund.सदस्यताका सर्तअनुसार नेपालले कर्पोरेसनको पुँजीमा प्रतिशेयर १,००० अमेरिकी डलरका दरले ५५ शेयर लिनुपर्छ। कर्पोरेसनलाई तिर्नुपर्ने रकम सङ्घीय सञ्चित कोषबाट भुक्तानी गर्ने अधिकार अर्थमन्त्रीलाई छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Section 4, p. 2; Schedule 1, para 2, p. 4
  • Nepal Rastra Bank is named as the depository for the IFC's holdings in Nepal, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance as the channel of communication with the IFC.कर्पोरेसन सम्झौताअनुसार नेपाल राष्ट्र बैङ्कलाई डिपोजिटरी र अर्थ मन्त्रालयका सचिवलाई कर्पोरेसनसँग पत्राचार गर्ने माध्यम तोकिएको छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Sections 5–6, pp. 2–3; Schedules 2–3
  • Despite anything in other Nepali law, the IFC has in Nepal the legal status, immunities and privileges set out in Article 6 of its Articles of Agreement (Schedule 4). The government may update the schedules by Gazette notice when the Articles are amended, and may make rules.प्रचलित नेपाल कानूनमा जे लेखिएको भए पनि कर्पोरेसनलाई नेपालमा सम्झौताको धारा ६ (अनुसूची–४) बमोजिमको कानूनी हैसियत, उन्मुक्ति र विशेषाधिकार प्राप्त हुन्छ। सम्झौता संशोधन भएमा नेपाल सरकारले राजपत्रमा सूचना प्रकाशित गरी अनुसूची संशोधन गर्न र नियम बनाउन सक्छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Sections 7–9, p. 3
