Indonesia Strengthens Measures Against Stock Manipulation Following MSCI Warning

Indonesia introduced new measures on Monday, October 26, 2026, to combat stock market manipulation, including the addition of independent parties to a committee that identifies stocks with concentrated ownership. This move comes after MSCI warned earlier this month that it could demote Indonesia's stock exchange to 'standalone' market status due to concerns about opaque trading practices, a development that triggered the country's deepest two-day stock selloff since 2020.
