Shen Boyang mentioned "decoupling the stock market from work and school suspensions". The Financial Supervisory Commission: Continue to study the feasibility

During the typhoon, local governments announced the suspension of classes and work. Whether the stock market should be closed simultaneously has once again become the focus of discussion.

Taipei mayoral candidate and legislator Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party today (22nd) proposed the idea of ​​"decoupling the stock market from work and school suspensions" and suggested that it be "handled separately" from stock market transactions. In this regard, the Securities and Futures Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission emphasized that it has continued to collect opinions from all parties and collected false information about typhoons from various countries to conduct comprehensive discussions and assess the feasibility.

Shen Boyang said in an interview today that whether the stock market and school closures have been decoupled has been discussed, but this matter can only be carried out if the central and local governments work together. Some investors pointed out that whenever a typhoon strikes, the nationwide suspension of work and school often causes investors to miss out on international market conditions and fail to integrate with international standards. In particular, there is no unified "typhoon holiday" abroad. Therefore, the stock market and school closures can be evaluated and dealt with separately.

In response, Huang Zhonghao, deputy director of the Securities and Futures Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission, responded that relevant issues have been discussed before and can be discussed in related directions in the future. Opinions from all parties are currently being collected and the handling methods of Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea will be used as a reference for subsequent evaluations. As for whether to adjust the handling mechanism of school suspensions and stock market closures during typhoons in the future, further evaluation remains.

Huang Zhonghao emphasized that in the face of natural disasters such as typhoons, the most important thing at this stage is to prepare for typhoons and ensure the safety of the people. The position of the Financial Supervisory Committee is consistent with that of the Executive Yuan. Considering the impact that natural disasters may have on transportation, financial market operations, and people's lives, relevant measures still need to be carefully and comprehensively evaluated.
