路透台北5月23日 - 近期台币强升引发避险成本高涨，令台湾大型寿险相继决议申请外汇价格变动准备金(外价金)新制；金管会官员周五称，上周五已收到国泰人寿的外价金新制申请函，目前仍在审核中，富邦及南山等大型寿险近期亦表达申请外价金新制的意愿，只是尚未收到申请函。
台湾资产最大金控--国泰金控2882.TW旗下国泰人寿执行副总经理林昭廷指出，已送件申请外汇变动准备金新制，核准后将增加146亿台币外价金，若5月就获准，就会适用
新制。
目前金管会已核准友邦、凯基、新光、台新及三商美邦等五家寿险申请外汇价格变动准备金新制，另有两家寿险申请案还在审核中。
金管会自去年8月增订外汇价格变动准备金新制，松绑外汇变动准备金累积上限，及提高固定提存比率、额外冲抵比率，让外汇变动准备资金池扩大，增加避险操作弹性并有助降低避险成本。
目前外汇价格变动准备金为新/旧制并存，在外汇价格变动准备金新制上路后采个案申请，一旦选定不可任意变动。(完)
