Indonesia faces MSCI downgrade risk, potentially triggering $13B capital flight

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Indonesia faces a critical decision from MSCI on June 23rd regarding its market status, with a potential downgrade from 'emerging market' to 'frontier market' threatening to trigger significant capital outflows. Goldman Sachs estimates up to $13 billion could leave the country if the downgrade occurs, as index funds would be compelled to sell Indonesian holdings. This reclassification, driven by concerns over market opacity and recent economic policies under President Prabowo Subianto, could also deter active fund managers and damage Indonesia's international reputation.
