FTSE Maintains Indonesia's Status, Positive Signal for Investors
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Global index provider FTSE Russell has once again delivered positive news for Indonesia’s financial markets. In its announcement of the March 2026 interim evaluation results, Indonesia is confirmed to remain in the Secondary Emerging Market category.
This decision indicates that Indonesia’s position in the global classification has not changed. Consequently, Indonesia has not been placed on the watchlist for potential status alterations in the near term.
This move also signals that FTSE Russell still perceives a degree of stability in the domestic capital markets, although it continues to scrutinise several areas requiring strengthening. Further evaluations will proceed in line with ongoing reform developments.
On the other hand, market participants are urged to monitor future dynamics, particularly regarding policy implementations that impact investor transparency and confidence.
“At this stage, Indonesia’s Secondary Emerging Market status remains unchanged,” it stated in a press release.
This means FTSE Russell is not considering Indonesia for inclusion on the Watchlist and will continue to monitor reform progress and engage with market participants.
In its statement, FTSE Russell is closely monitoring reforms to the integrity of Indonesia’s capital markets.
It is noted that, in the index review for Indonesia in March 2026, FTSE Russell continues to assess the progress of reform measures designed to enhance transparency, integrity, and overall market governance.
“As outlined in FTSE Russell’s FAQ on the treatment of Indonesian securities,” it added.
According to the provider, Indonesia has introduced a broad range of initiatives, including enhanced shareholder disclosures, expanded investor classification categories, minimum free float requirements, and improved market surveillance tools.
“These measures aim to address previously identified concerns regarding transparency and data reliability,” it revealed.
FTSE Russell will continue to monitor implementation developments and interact with market participants to gather feedback.
Additionally, FTSE Russell will confirm the treatment of Indonesian securities ahead of the June 2026 index review, taking into account reform progress and stakeholder input.
