Taiwan real estate investment rule shake-up sees results

Taiwan’s insurance industry has actively adjusted its asset allocations throughout the year after regulatory changes in January to what it could invest in the real estate market.

This is important as it would enable insurers to make easier long-term investments in the overheated local real estate market.
