Cabinet marks launch of financial services in free economic pilot zones (2014/03/05)

A ceremony today was held to mark the launch of financial services in free economic pilot zones. Offshore securities units will enjoy fewer restrictions and more tax breaks in the zones in an effort to bring more business to Taiwan. 

Premier Jiang Yi-huah, flanked by financial executives, lit a light to symbolize the launch of financial services in free economic pilot zones. But the draft of special regulations for the zones remains mired in the Legislature. That has led to concerns about the legal basis used by the government for operating the zones.

William Tseng
Finance Minister
The special regulations don’t directly relate to the free economic pilot zones. We relied on regulations related to offshore banking units and offshore securities units.

The premier personally handed certificates to a dozen securities firms that applied for offshore securities unit status.

In the future, offshore securities units operating in the free economic pilot zones will be able to engage in international securities businesses. Finance Minister William Tseng says these units will be seen as virtual offshore companies that will benefit from relaxed regulations.

自經區啟動 

內閣改組完成,行政院長江宜樺全力行銷自由經濟示範區,第一砲由金融業打頭陣,江宜樺也親自出席金融業納入自由經濟示範區的啟動儀式。

行政院長江宜樺和金融巨頭們,在台上點燈,宣示自由經濟示範區”金融服務業”正式啟動。只是,自由經濟示範區的特別條例草案,立院還沒通過,中央就先啟動,意義在哪裡?

[[金管會主委 曾銘宗]]
“自由經濟示範區, 我們條例是沒有直接相關 ,我們是透過現行的OBU , OSU來推動”

江揆還親自頒發證書給通過申設國際證券業務OSU資格的12家綜合券商。

未來OSU在示範區,外國投資人可以信託機制,投資外國股票、指數股票型基金。曾銘宗並強調,金融業納入示範區,將以虛擬境外方式,採「業務鬆綁,全區開放」進行。
