Global IME Calendar Launch Year 2083
26th March 2026, Kathmandu
The Global IME Bank Calendar has once again set a benchmark in corporate cultural advocacy with the official launch of its New Year 2083 edition.
Global IME Calendar Launch
Unveiled at the bank’s corporate headquarters in Kamaladi, Kathmandu, the 2083 calendar is dedicated to the ethereal beauty and spiritual depth of Paubha Art. By featuring this ancient Newari painting tradition, Global IME Bank continues its decade-long legacy of using its annual publication as a canvas to showcase Nepal’s diverse artistic heritage to a global audience.
High-Profile Unveiling Ceremony
The launch of the Global IME Bank Calendar 2083 was a prestigious event attended by leaders from both the financial and humanitarian sectors. The calendar was jointly released by:
Chandra Prasad Dhakal: Chairman of Global IME Bank and President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI).
Prof. Dr. Sanduk Ruit: World-renowned ophthalmologist and Founder of the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology.
The ceremony also saw the participation of the bank’s top management, including CEO Surendra Raj Regmi and Deputy CEO Suman Pokharel, underscoring the institutional importance the bank places on this cultural project.
Spotlighting Traditional Paubha Art
A core objective of the Global IME Bank Calendar this year is the preservation of Paubha, a traditional painting style native to the Newar community of the Kathmandu Valley.
Distinguishing Features of Paubha:
Philosophical Depth: Unlike many contemporary art forms, Paubha is a meditative practice governed by strict iconographic rules and spiritual symbolism.
Cultural Identity: While often compared to Tibetan Thangka, Paubha maintains a distinct aesthetic and historical lineage rooted in Newari craftsmanship.
Artistic Detail: The 2083 calendar features rare and historically significant Paubha pieces, providing a monthly window into the divine colors and precision of this indigenous art form.

A Legacy of Cultural Ambassadorship
The Global IME Bank Calendar has evolved into a highly anticipated annual collector’s item due to its consistent focus on Nepalese heritage. Over the last five years, the bank has explored various facets of national identity:
- 2083: Traditional Paubha Art (Current Edition)
- 2082: Rare images of traditional Nepali lifestyles
- 2081: Repatriated ancient artifacts and idols
- 2080: Intricate Mandala paintings
- 2079: Authentic Mithila art and culture
This sequence demonstrates the bank’s “ESG” (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitment to social responsibility by acting as a custodian of Nepal’s intangible cultural assets.
Global IME Bank: Excellence and Presence
The prestige of the Global IME Bank Calendar is mirrored by the bank’s dominant position in the Nepalese financial landscape. As the first private commercial bank to establish a presence in all 77 districts, Global IME Bank serves as the backbone of the nation’s economy.
Banking Network at a Glance:
352 Branch Offices and 379 ATMs nationwide.
147 Branchless Banking Units bringing services to remote villages.
68 Extension Counters for specialized revenue and service collection.
International Reach: Representative offices in Sydney, London, and New Delhi to support the Nepalese diaspora.
Leading the Remittance Sector
In addition to its cultural initiatives, Global IME Bank is a global leader in channeling remittances into Nepal. By partnering with major exchange houses in the USA, UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and the Gulf, the bank ensures that the hard-earned money of migrant workers reaches their families safely and efficiently, significantly contributing to the national forex reserves.
Conclusion
The Global IME Bank Calendar 2083 is a testament to the fact that a bank can be more than just a financial intermediary. By choosing Paubha art as its central theme, Global IME Bank has provided a platform for local artisans and helped bridge the gap between ancient traditions and modern society. As the bank continues to win international accolades—including “Best Bank Nepal” and “Best Bank ESG”—its commitment to preserving the “Soul of Nepal” through art remains its most colorful achievement.
