MSCI Announces the Results of the MSCI 2026 Market Classification Review
MSCI released the results of the MSCI 2026 Market Classification Review.
Key takeaways from this year's review include:
“The MSCI Market Classification Framework determines whether a market is developed, emerging, or frontier based on the accessibility and investability that international institutional investors actually experience,” said Raman Aylur Subramanian, Head of Market Classification and Taxonomies. “Index inclusion and market classification are not static judgments. They must be continuously assessed against market changes and the experience of international institutional investors. When market access or experiences worsen, our framework requires us to respond decisively. And when market accessibility and investability improve in a meaningful and sustained way, markets can progress through the classification framework, as seen with Bulgaria and Greece.”
