Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has set up a task force to combat forex speculation, CENS reports. The task force, comprising staffers from the Financial Examination Bureau, Securities and Futures Bureau and the Taiwan Stock Exchange, will probe foreign-fund custodian banks from December 31.


Citibank and JP Morgan Chase will be the first two targets.
