IDX CEO Speaks Out on MSCI August 2026 Rebalancing Announcement
The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) has spoken out regarding the announcement of the MSCI August index rebalancing results, which were released in the early hours of Thursday (13/8/2026).
IDX President Director Jeffrey Hendrik said the rebalancing process is in line with the periodic schedule set by MSCI. He added that the results of this August review reflect adjustments to the IDX’s transparency measures, which have been implemented since the beginning of the year.
“This rebalancing is carried out periodically by MSCI. And like previous rebalancing processes, MSCI also uses public information disclosures submitted by the IDX, such as the HSC and 1% share ownership,” Jeffrey told reporters.
Jeffrey further stated that the IDX will continue to coordinate with global market participants. This is in line with the capital market reform transformation initiatives currently being undertaken by the Indonesian government together with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO).
“Our communication with MSCI will certainly continue. Likewise, communication with global investors,” he said.
