Taiwan stock market plummets, "short restriction order" coming? Financial Supervisory Commission Chairman Peng Jinlong: Rescue measures will be announced in the afternoon

Affected by the international stock market, Taiwan stocks plunged more than 3,000 points during the session today (6th), and the decline narrowed after the mid-term. In response, Chairman Peng Jinlong of the Financial Supervisory Commission pointed out in an interview in front of the Asian Asset Management Center Forum hosted by the Business Times this morning that he has received instructions from Executive President Zhuo Yongtai and will announce market rescue measures in the afternoon. According to external research, a short-term order may be issued.

Regarding the collapse of the Taiwan stock market today, Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission Peng Jinlong was interviewed before attending the "Asian Asset Management Center Forum" in Kaohsiung today. In response to the recent violent fluctuations in the international stock market, President Zhuo Rongtai made an explanation and issued instructions at the Legislative Yuan in the morning, requesting the Ministry of Finance and Economics to respond to the current situation of the stock market, so it will be announced in the afternoon.

Peng Jinlong emphasized that there are no problems with Taiwan's overall economic conditions and fundamentals, and called on investors to have confidence in the mid- to long-term development of Taiwan's industries and not to panic excessively.

Peng Jinlong also said that Taiwan's stock market was not the only one to fall today. Stock markets in many countries have experienced special situations of sharp fluctuations. Therefore, in the afternoon, a special meeting will be held to respond to today's stock market results and corresponding measures will be taken. "In the past, the government had extensive experience in dealing with various stock market changes, and most of the measures implemented were able to stabilize the market."

Regarding whether specific measures such as an "air restriction order" will be issued this afternoon? Peng Jinlong hinted that he could "give a preview."

Peng Jinlong was originally scheduled to attend the "2026 Kaohsiung International Financial Expo Opening Ceremony" with Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai, Jinzhi Weekly Chairman Xie Jinhe and others at 1:20 pm today. However, due to the sharp decline in the Taiwan stock market, he rushed back to Taipei immediately after attending the Asia Asset Management Center Forum in the morning.
