Indonesia Stock Market Classification – Student Protests in Albania

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — MSCI plans to change the classification of Indonesia’s stock market from Emerging Market to Standalone Market. The move follows MSCI’s assessment that there are still issues with transparency over share ownership and the functioning of the domestic capital market.

Meanwhile, student demonstrations in Tirana, the capital of Albania, turned violent after protesters set fire to the Ministry of Justice building. The protests were prompted by high education costs, limited financial support for students and alleged corruption involving government officials.
