According to sources, a key agenda of the meeting includes the potential appointment of the new Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"335\" data-end=\"688\">Before the appointment can be finalized, the recommendation committee is required to convene and submit a shortlist of three candidates for the governor&#8217;s position. However, it is widely speculated that the ruling coalition\u2014comprising the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML\u2014has already reached a consensus to appoint <strong data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"666\">Dr. Bishwo Paudel<\/strong> as the next Governor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"974\">In anticipation of his selection, Dr. Paudel has already resigned from his position on the recommendation committee.
