FTSE Russell has decided to postpone its review of Indonesian stocks, which was originally scheduled for March 2026. This decision provides a welcome stability buffer for the domestic market amidst ongoing reforms to trading regulations.
Key Takeaways:
The review delay offers temporary stability while market reforms are being implemented.
Expect zero changes to the FTSE index composition until the next announcement.
Investors should keep their eyes peeled for updates ahead of the June 2026 quarterly review.
The hold-up stems from uncertainty regarding the calculation of public shares—or "free float"—for domestic issuers. Citing a report from Warta Ekonomi, FTSE Russell pulled this lever to avoid potential market disruptions during this transition period.
The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) views this move as a vote of confidence in its infrastructure overhaul. IDX Director Jeffrey Hendrik stated on Tuesday (Feb 10) that FTSE is fully backing the reform initiatives currently in play.
Impact on Stock Moves
The headline consequence here is that the global index roster remains untouched. According to Liputan6, FTSE has confirmed there will be no additions or deletions to the index composition during this round.
However, investors shouldn't tune out completely—corporate actions are still a go. The report clarifies that standard moves such as dividend distributions, mergers, and stock splits will proceed as business as usual.
What to Watch Next
The silver lining is that Indonesia’s standing in the global investment classification remains secure. Data from Bareksa confirms that the country classification announcement is still on track for April 7, 2026.
Market players now need to sit tight and await results from the reform monitoring before the follow-up review in June. This short-term stability offers a perfect window to re-evaluate your investment strategy.
