-- MSCI is reviewing new capital market transparency reforms introduced by Indonesian authorities, while keeping existing restrictions on local equities in place, the Jakarta Globe reported Tuesday.
The measures, rolled out by regulators and the stock exchange, include broader shareholder disclosure, tighter monitoring of ownership concentration, and plans to raise minimum free float requirements.
MSCI said it is assessing the effectiveness of these steps, particularly their impact on ownership transparency and market accessibility. For now, MSCI will maintain curbs in its May 2026 index review, including limits on index weight increases and new stock inclusions.
It may also remove certain securities flagged for high ownership concentration and selectively use new data to refine free float estimates. MSCI will provide further updates in June.
