Good News: FTSE Maintains Indonesia's Stock Index Status

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The global index provider FTSE Russell has maintained Indonesia’s status in the Secondary Emerging Market category. This is based on the March 2026 interim announcement released on 7 April 2026. “At this stage, Indonesia’s Secondary Emerging Market status remains unchanged,” it stated in a press release on Wednesday (8/4/2026). This means FTSE Russell is not considering Indonesia for inclusion on the Watch List 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 was noted that in the March 2026 index review for Indonesia, FTSE Russell continues to assess progress on reform measures designed to strengthen overall market transparency, integrity, and governance. “As outlined in FTSE Russell’s FAQ on the treatment of Indonesian securities,” it said. According to the provider, Indonesia has introduced a wide range of initiatives, including enhanced shareholder disclosures, expanded investor classification categories, minimum free float requirements, and improved market surveillance tools. “These measures are aimed at addressing previously identified concerns regarding transparency and data reliability,” it revealed. FTSE Russell will continue to monitor implementation developments and engage 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.
