Taiwan Activates NT$500B Stabilization Fund and Tightens Short Selling Rules
What happened
The government authorized the National Stabilization Fund (NSF), valued at NT$500 billion (US$15.26 billion), to support local shares in Taiwan. Separately, the Financial Supervisory Commission announced temporary curbs on short selling shares. These rules lower the volume of intraday securities lending to 3 percent of average daily trading volume and raise the required investor deposit to 130 percent of a stock’s value.
