EME Strategy: MSCI 2020 Annual Market Review – Iceland joins MSCI FM; Turkey on MSCI’s radar

Yesterday (23 June), after the market closed, the MSCI announced the results of its 2020 Annual Market Review (AMR). In line with our predictions, Romania has not been placed on the watchlist for a potential upgrade to Emerging Markets (EM), and Poland will not be considered for an upgrade to Developed Markets (DM). The MSCI also highlighted the limited market accessibility in Turkey (short selling and lending bans introduced in October 2019 and February 2020, respectively), and stressed that it may launch consultations over the possible downgrade of Turkey from EM to FM or Stand-Alone Index status, if the accessibility deteriorates further.
