A finance professional shaping Nepal's monetary integrity — with expertise in financial sector regulation, FATF compliance, and central banking.
About
I'm Sharada Gurung, an Assistant Director at Nepal Rastra Bank — the central monetary authority of Nepal. With a background spanning credit operations, fintech, and central banking, I bring both ground-level financial understanding and high-level regulatory perspective to my work.
My core interest lies at the intersection of financial regulation and global compliance frameworks, particularly the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards. I am deeply engaged in Nepal's efforts to strengthen its AML/CFT regime and align with international norms.
From my early days in commercial banking at Civil Bank and Rastriya Banijya Bank, to fintech at f1soft-eSewapasal, every step has sharpened my understanding of the financial ecosystem that Nepal Rastra Bank is entrusted to govern.
