MSCI to enter Kuwait stocks into Emerging Market index in November | ZAWYA MENA Edition:
Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) will implement the reclassification of the MSCI Kuwait Indexes from frontier market status to Emerging Market in November 2020.
The step will coincide with the November 2020 semi-annual index review, Kuwait Capital Market Authority said in a tweet.
On April 9, CMA said though Kuwait has met the requirements of the reclassification, the MSCI put off the move until November due to the massive fallout of COVID-19 on global economy and investment patterns.
The health precautions and preventive measures implemented by countries and companies around the globe to stem the tide of the pandemic hindered the operational ability of investors and hampered their accessibility to the firms listed on Kuwait stock market in last May, CMA noted.
