Taiwan’s top financial regulator said it would extend temporary curbs on the short-selling of shares to help ensure stock market stability, and did not give an end date for when the restrictions might be lifted, Reuters reported.
The curbs were first imposed on April 6 after the United States imposed sweeping import tariffs, prompting global market turmoil. Intially imposed for one week, they were then extended for a further week.
If there are significant changes on the market, the regulator said it would “adjust the relevant measures accordingly to maintain market stability and investors’ interests”. The FSC did not elaborate.
