What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

MSCI raised concerns regarding Indonesia's investability, citing limited visibility in shareholdings and coordinated trading behavior. The index provider lowered Indonesia's information flow criterion to negative, reflecting opacity in ownership data and market activity. Following the review, foreign investors sold approximately US$3.65 billion worth of Indonesian shares, and Jakarta's stock benchmark fell about 29 per cent in 2026.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The lowered criterion undermines proper price formation and restricts global investors' ability to assess the true free float of companies in Indonesia. This market instability has caused Indonesia's capital markets to plunge since January, making it the world's worst performing major equity market.
