[SINGAPORE] S&P Global Ratings said reviving investor confidence is key for sovereign support for Indonesia after the recent volatility in the stock market following a warning from index provider MSCI in January jolted sentiment.
S&P said the direct impact on sovereign credit metrics is limited for now, noting authorities are addressing market structures that have led to foreign portfolio flows.
“The damage to investor confidence is reversible. But a failure to do so would deal a more serious blow to investor confidence than an MSCI reclassification,” S&P analysts said in a report. REUTERS
