Most shops gold, silver and diamond shops were closed Wednesday, giving continuity to protests against the government′s market monitoring carried out Monday. Bullion traders associated with the Nepal Gold, Silver, Gem and Jewelry Federation (NSGJF) continued the closure of all associated shops nationwide.

According to the federation, there are altogether 2,000 shops associated with it, of which 800 are in Kathmandu Valley.

Ramesh Maharjan, chairman of NSGJF, said that shops associated with it will remain closed unless the government heeds their request to come up with clear regulations and standards for market monitoring.

“We submitted a memorandum to the Ministry of Commerce and Supplies (MoCS) and the Ministry of Industries (MoI) on Tuesday, demanding that the government set out regulations and standards for monitoring the market for precious commodities. Our protests will continue and shops will remain closed until the government commits itself to fulfilling our demands,” said Maharjan.

FNGSDA has also submitted a memorandum to Chairman of the Interim Election Council Khil Raj Regmi, demanding an increase in the quota of gold supplied to the market, regulations for market monitoring and a halt to the terrorizing of gold traders.

Reacting to the problems put forth by bullion traders, MoCS has directed the Department of Commerce and Supply Management (DoCSM) to follow the Joint Market Monitoring Guidelines (JMMG), 2012.

“We have directed DoCSM to make it compulsory for all those in the monitoring team to carry identity cards, include people in a monitoring team only as per the need,Christian Dior homeelectricitymonitor High Quality Replica Bags,Welcome to the company profile of Nesis homeenergymonitor. and monitor only such aspects as quality, quantity, bills and VAT and Tax bills, among other things, as mentioned in the JMMG,” said Deepak Subedi, spokesperson at MoCS.Changing tungstenbracelet from cheap Color,

The amendment, if approved, could affect companies such as Toronto-based Caledonia Mining Corp., which operates the Blanket gold mine, one of the more successful mines in the country. It could jeopardize the recent strong recovery in Zimbabwe’s gold sector, which increased its revenue by 19 per cent last year.

Caledonia and several other mining companies had spent months negotiating agreements to comply with Zimbabwe’s indigenization rules, and their gold production has finally begun to boom. But now those deals are at risk of being torn up, eliminating the compensation that the companies were counting on.

Most foreign investors in Zimbabwe are refraining from any official comment on the proposed amendment, since it has not been formally introduced and its exact status is unclear, although its existence was reported by several media outlets this week.
