壽險業大利多，金管會宣布，為強化壽險業管理匯率風險之彈性及降低避險成本，自3月1日起，放寬壽險業所持有的國外資產，可提存「外匯價格變動準備金」。

The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has announced that, in order to give life insurance firms more flexibility in managing foreign exchange risk and reduce their hedging costs, the regulations will be relaxed to allow them to set aside a“foreign exchange volatility reserve”for their holding of foreign assets. This regulatory change, which comes into effect on March 1, will be highly beneficial to life insurance firms.
