SSF’s Investment Portfolio Reaches Rs 126 Billion

The Social Security Fund (SSF) has recorded a major financial milestone as its investment portfolio reached an impressive Rs 126 billion. This growth reflects the increasing participation of contributors as well as the fund’s expanding role in Nepal’s social protection system.

Over the years, SSF has diversified its investments across multiple sectors, focusing on low-risk and stable-return avenues. The steady rise in contributions from formal-sector employees has significantly boosted the fund’s financial capacity, allowing it to invest more strategically in areas such as treasury bills, fixed deposits, and infrastructure-related opportunities.

Officials highlight that the strengthening portfolio demonstrates public confidence in the SSF scheme, which aims to provide long-term financial security to workers. As the fund continues to expand, it is expected to support Nepal’s broader economic development by channeling capital into productive sectors.

The SSF’s growth also signals a positive shift toward formal employment and improved social security practices in the country. With increasing awareness and employer compliance, the fund is projected to grow even further in the coming years.
