Currently, MSCI provides at least 3,825 flagship indexes out of a total of 8,176 constituents, monitoring and analyzing stocks from 47 countries (23 developed markets and 24 emerging markets), including Indonesia.
Like other indexes, MSCI has its own methodology and criteria for determining which stocks are included in the index calculation, including market capitalization, liquidity, and accessibility for global investors.

Indonesian stocks are included in several indexes, such as the MSCI Global Standard Index and the MSCI Indonesia Index. There are also indexes based on other categories, such as the MSCI Small Cap Index, MSCI Investable Market Index, MSCI Emerging Market Index, and more.
