Taiwan new regulator to stay course on AIG deal

TAIPEI, May 17 - Taiwan's new top financial regulator said on Monday he would follow the same procedures as his predecessor over AIG's <AIG.N> stalled $2.2 billion sale of its Nan Shan unit.
In his first media conference after being sworn in on Monday, Financial Supervisory Commission Chairman Chen Yu-chang declined further comment, noting only that the Nan Shan deal had "grabbed a lot of attention in Taiwan."
No change had been expected in FSC policy after Chen's appointment, which came following the elevation of his predecessor, Sean Chen, to the post of vice-premier.
American International Group has been unable to seal the deal it agreed in October, amid concern in Taiwan that the buyers, battery maker China Strategic <0235.HK> and Hong Kong-based investment fund Primus Financial, have received backing from China and do not have a background in running an insurance business.
The FSC was still trying to complete a review of the sale by an deadline this month, even if the buyers have not offered requested documents, a source said earlier in May. [ID:nTOE649095]
