MSCI Cuts Stocks Linked to Indonesia’s Richest From Indexes

MSCI removed several Indonesian stocks linked to the country's richest billionaires from its indexes after warning it would exclude companies with concentrated ownership. The decision is negative for the affected shares, which fell on the announcement, and could pressure index-tracking flows into those names. The broader market impact is likely limited, though it reinforces governance and free-float concerns in Indonesian equities.
