Considering the need of market participants and the protection of investors, the FSC amended to the order authorized by Article 17 and 18 of the Regulations Governing Offshore Structured Products on August 30, 2018. The key points of the amendments focus on the credit rating requirement for offshore structured products offered to non-professional investors for trust investment, brokerage trade or linking to investment-linked insurance policies. The required credit ratings of the long-term debt for the issuers or guarantors and the issue rating of the offshore structured products are relaxed from previous above A+/A1 to A/A2. The amendments can encourage international issuers to enter the domestic market and diversify the choices for investors in terms of financial products available in the market.
