Dividend payment by state-owned enterprises drops to 13-year low

The low rate of return has raised questions over whether the government should keep throwing good money after bad to save poorly run companies. Dividend payment by state-owned enterprises drops to 13-year low
Among the government's myriad enterprises, only nine paid dividends in the last fiscal year. They are Nepal Telecom, Rastriya Banijya Bank, Agriculture Development Bank, Butwal Power Company, Nepal Stock Exchange, Salt Trading Corporation, Citizen Investment Trust, Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal and Sajha Sewa.  POST FILE PHOTO
