MSCI freezes Turkey index additions and weight increases over free — float concerns

MSCI imposed an immediate freeze on certain Turkish equity index changes until further notice, citing free-float reliability and market-integrity concerns. The freeze blocks Foreign Inclusion Factor and Number of Shares increases, Turkey Investable Market Index additions, and upward size-segment migrations. Turkish authorities’ initial measures require more time to demonstrate sustained enforcement against coordinated trading and independently verifiable free-float disclosures. Without sufficient progress by June 2027, MSCI will consider consulting on reclassification from Emerging Market to Frontier or Standalone Market status. The indexes’ treatment will be reassessed during the 2027 Annual Market Classification Review.
