Taiwan Regulator: Signed Financial MOUs With China



TAIPEI -(Dow Jones)- Taiwan and China signed three financial memorandums of understanding Monday, said Sean Chen, chairman of the island's Financial Supervisory Commission, a crucial step toward the two sides opening their financial markets to each other.

Chen signed the long-awaited MOUs with his Chinese counterparts at the China Insurance Reglatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the China Banking Regulatory Commission at 1000 GMT, he told reporters.

The non-binding MOUs, which will take effect in 60 days, cover information exchange, confidentiality, financial inspection, crisis management and continued contact between the two sides' regulatory agencies, Taiwan's FSC said.
