TAIPEI, April 6 (Reuters) - Taiwan's top financial regulator said on Sunday it will impose temporary curbs on short-selling of shares to help deal with potential market turmoil brought about by U.S. President Donald Trump's new import tariffs.

Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission said in a statement it would limit the number of shares that can be sold short and raise the minimum short-selling margin ratio to 130% from 90%, starting from Monday and lasting until Friday.

Taiwan's stock market .TWII was closed last Thursday and Friday for a holiday, and reopens on Monday.
