Indonesian government to evaluate MSCI request after stock index tumbled

JAKARTA, Jan 28 : Indonesia's senior economic minister said on Wednesday that the government will evaluate requests by index provider MSCI regarding data transparency after its warning of investability risks led to a drop of more than 8 per cent in the benchmark stock index.

The government is monitoring the stock market's movement and a meeting among financial market bodies will be held soon, Airlangga Hartarto said.
