Swiss Re Receives Taiwan Branch License

Swiss Re announced that it has been granted a reinsurance branch license from Taiwan’s Ministry of Finance to open an office in the capital city, Taipei.

It is the first international reinsurance company to receive one. Swiss Re opened a liaison office in Taipei in 1995.

The branch will provide comprehensive reinsurance services to clients throughout Taiwan in the property and casualty as well as life and health sectors.

“Ms. Judith CHEN has been appointed General Manager, and will also head the non-life business in Taiwan,” said the announcement. “Mr. POH Chee Kok will lead the life & health business in Taiwan.”
