T
he Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Composite index slid at the market closing on Wednesday, after global index compiler MSCI axed major Indonesian stocks in its latest rebalancing review.
The benchmark index had dropped 1.98 percent to 6,723.32 by the market’s close on May 13. It has declined by more than 20 percent since the beginning of the year.
MSCI announced the review on Tuesday evening, with changes in constituents for its Global Standard Indexes set to take place after the stock market closes on May 29, and become effective on June 1.
its latest review, MSCI added no Indonesian stocks but removed PT Barito Renewables Energy, PT Chandra Asri Pacific and PT Petrindo Jaya Kreasi, all affiliated with local conglomerate Barito Pacific, as well as PT Amman Mineral International and PT Dian Swastika Sentosa, the mining arm of Sinar Mas Group.
MSCI also downgraded consumer goods retailer PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya to its Global Small Cap Index, from which it removed 13 Indonesian stocks altogether.
The benchmark indexer has frozen several Indonesian stock indices following its warning in January, which triggered one of the major routs of the country’s stock market, followed by high-profile resignations at the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the IDX.
MSCI had set a May deadline for Indonesian authorities to make progress on improving transparency or it would “reassess Indonesia's market accessibility status” toward a potential downgrade from emerging to frontier market status.
