Taiwan’s new Bureau of Labor Funds (BLF) chief wants to overhaul its investment operations, and plans to ask the island’s financial regulator to set stricter due diligence for its outsourcing, in a bid to improve the pension supervisor’s image after a corruption scandal involving a former senior official.
The BLF’s internal domestic investment team will also have to regularly report on their transactions to the regulator, according to Director General Yu-Ching Su.
She says the BLF has introduced 12 measures to beef up supervision in four areas: investment processes, operation, management control, and anti-corruption.
“From now on, we will have to thoroughly overhaul investment operation,” she says in a statement on March 10, when she officially became the BLF’s head.
