FTSE Russell will defer certain index changes for Indonesian equities until at least its December review, giving it more time to assess the effectiveness of market reforms by local authorities. The global index provider is essentially holding off on revisions that would increase the weight of Indonesian shares in its gauges, while still allowing some changes in its September review that reduce or remove stocks, according to its statement dated Aug. 18.\n\nBy postponing the increases, FTSE Russell aims to ensure that any adjustments reflect the true impact of recent regulatory and market reforms implemented by Indonesian authorities. The decision acknowledges ongoing efforts to improve market transparency, liquidity, and governance, which could affect the suitability of Indonesian stocks for inclusion at higher weights in global benchmarks.\n\nInvestors watching the Indonesian market should note that while weight‑increasing revisions are delayed, the September review may still bring downward adjustments or deletions.

The next full evaluation is expected in the December review, when FTSE Russell will reconsider both additions and removals based on the latest data.
