MSCI Warns It May Drop Indonesia From Its Indexes
MSCI has warned it may pull Indonesia out of its global indexes, a steeper cut than the downgrade Jakarta had spent the year trying to avoid. The Jakarta Composite Index, already the world's worst performer this year, fell almost 12% on Friday and kept falling Monday. A decision comes in June, after MSCI reviews market governance.
Key Statutory Highlights
- MSCI said it is considering a standalone designation for Indonesia, which would be a deeper cut than simply losing emerging-market status.
- The Jakarta Composite Index fell almost 12% on Friday and declined again on Monday, and is the worst-performing benchmark in the world this year.
- MSCI wants regulators to take a tougher stand against manipulation and improve transparency and surveillance, with a decision due in June.
