Indonesia is taking steps to encourage more free float in its stock market, specifically targeting tightly held companies. This initiative aims to satisfy MSCI's liquidity requirements, potentially leading to increased foreign investment and a higher weighting for Indonesian stocks in global indices. Investors should watch for concrete policy changes and corporate responses that could unlock value in currently illiquid large-cap companies.
