mark<\/strong><strong>ets (EM) index a decade ago to <\/strong><strong>nearly 7% today<\/strong>, according to Raman Subramanian (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/raman-aylur-subramanian-cfa-6244267\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>), MSCI\u2019s global head of index R&D and chair of its Index Policy Committee. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The shift from retail-driven to institution-driven markets has been the cornerstone for <\/strong><strong>long-term liquidity and credibility of regional stocks<\/strong>, Subramanian said. The UAE and Qatar were the first to join MSCI indices in 2014, followed by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Their inclusion fundamentally changed the way global investors view the region, putting the GCC alongside much larger economies in global benchmarks and making it impossible for fund managers to ignore, Subramanian said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART-<\/strong> Inclusion in MSCI indices is critical because they can offer bns of USD in inflows \u2014 mostly from institutional investors, portfolio managers, and financial advisors. Investors use the indices as gauges of market performance and benchmarks against which to compare other stocks or markets and to build index tracking funds, among other purposes. To be added as an emerging market stock, a company must first be listed in an MSCI-designated emerging market, meet minimum market cap thresholds, and boast strong liquidity (with an annualized traded value ratio of at least 15%); without having major restrictions on foreign ownership. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ICYMI-<\/strong> MSCI added DFM-listed real estate players Dubai Residential REIT and Union Properties to its Emerging Markets Small Cap Index <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/46e4557a-d739-46dc-9d0c-26a1c81bccd0\/msci-to-add-dubai-residential-reit,-union-properties-%2B-drop-aramex-from-em-small-cap-index\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">during its latest rebalancing in August<\/a>, and removed Aramex. Meanwhile, ADX-listed Lulu Retail was added to the FTSE Mid Cap and FTSE Global All Cap indices <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/0c073505-c5c1-441d-9d9c-089d02b87be8\/lulu-retail,-mair-group-and-adnh-catering-are-now-included-in-ftse-indices\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">in June<\/a>, while ADX-listed Mair Group and ADNH Catering joined the FTSE Global Micro Cap Index.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Active fund managers are piling into regional assets, signaling the GCC\u2019s gr<\/strong><strong>owing market maturity<\/strong>, said Subramanian. Roughly USD 127 bn is benchmarked to GCC equities through MSCI indices, with active strategies accounting for the bulk of it at some USD 100 bn, now far outweighing passive trackers, he said. While inflows often begin passively, he noted, managers are increasingly taking selective active positions in companies across the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Just last month, the MSCI GCC Index had its best month in <\/strong><strong>nearly two years<\/strong>, recording its sharpest gain in 21 months with a 4.9% rise to close at its highest level in almost three years, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/10\/140.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Kamco Invest report (pdf)<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The rally was led by Saudi Arabia (+7.5%), followed by Kuwait (+3.5%), Oman (+3.0%)<\/strong><strong> and Bahrain (+1.0%).<\/strong> On the flip side, Dubai (-3.7%) led regional decliners, followed by Qatar (-1.5%) and Abu Dhabi (-0.8%). YTD, Kuwait leads the pack with a 19.5% gain, trailed by Oman and Dubai (both +13.2%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s driving the rally? <\/strong>The six-member bloc combines financial-heavy equity markets, global energy influence, and reform-driven non-oil economies, unlike most EMs which are either resource-driven (like Brazil and South Africa) or export-heavy (like China, Korea, and Taiwan), Subramanian said. This mix, he explained, is why \u201cinvestors no longer see the GCC simply through the lens of oil.\u201d By offering diversification within EMs, the region is attracting investors looking for both growth and stability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The USD pegs and the higher dividend yields paid by giants li<\/strong><strong>ke Aramco, <\/strong><strong>compared with many developed peers, also \u201ccreate a compelling investment case<\/strong> within EM,\u201d he argued. He added that a more diverse IPO pipeline is giving global funds reasons to invest beyond state-linked enterprises, especially as new private sector names in retail, pharma, and real estate are coming to market. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Investors also increasingly see the GCC as a single asset class, increasing their <\/strong><strong>bargaining power and appeal. <\/strong>From a global perspective, investors are less concerned with choosing between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, and more focused on the region as a unified allocation. Saudi Arabia dominates the region\u2019s profile with roughly 3.3% of the EM index and more than 200 listed companies, compared with around 150 in the UAE. \u201cSaudi is also a much deeper market,\u201d Subramanian said, but he noted that both markets are building strong IPO pipelines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Transparency, ESG are key to bigger inflows:<\/strong> MSCI has been working with exchanges and businesses in the region to raise ESG standards and align them with international benchmarks, he said. He added that investors want better reporting, disclosure, and governance \u2014 and that ESG scores are becoming gateways to capital. Without stronger ESG practices, he cautioned, the GCC risks missing out on some of the fastest-growing pools of global capital.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The road to developed markets status takes more than scale: <\/strong>Saudi Arabia and the UAE are large economies, but Subramanian emphasized that size alone isn\u2019t decisive. \u201cIt\u2019s not about GDP, but about market microstructure,\u201d he said. Clearing, settlement, and foreign ownership reforms remain essential, he said, adding that achieving developed market status could unlock bns in passive inflows, but only if reforms continue to advance. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/capital-markets\/\">capital markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/coffee-with-2\/\">COFFEE WITH\u2026<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/debt\/\">debt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/financial-markets\/\">Financial markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"108231\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"108231\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">MOVES<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/10\/07\/emirates-growth-fund-appoints-new-ceo\/\">\r\n                            Emirates Growth Fund appoints new CEO                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/10\/07\/emirates-growth-fund-appoints-new-ceo\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

central banks are expected to continue lowering interest rates for the remainder of 2025, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-10-06\/fed-set-to-drive-global-rate-cuts-as-europe-shifts-to-pause?srnd=phx-economics-v2\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg Economics<\/a>. Some 15 banks are projected to cut borrowing costs, while most of Western Europe pauses to gauge inflation trends. Only the Bank of Japan is expected to raise rates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The drivers: <\/strong>Common factors influencing these decisions include persistent inflation concerns, the economic impact of US trade tariffs under President Trump, and domestic political pressures. While the overall direction is toward lower borrowing costs, the pace is tempered by economic resilience and lingering price pressures, Bloomberg\u2019s analysts say.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#1- Fed to deliver two more cuts amid political pressure: <\/strong>The US Federal Reserve is forecast to reduce rates twice more this year after its <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1e31e4bd-5364-4caf-9fa8-e2ed39ac7fa1\/fed-cuts-rates-for-the-first-time-this-year,-resuming-widely-anticipated-easing-cycle\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">September cut<\/a>, bringing the federal funds rate down to 3.75% by year-end from its current 4.25%. Markets expect quarter-point cuts at each of the two remaining 2025 meetings, as officials aim to balance labor market support with inflation risks tied to Trump\u2019s tariff. \u201cThe Federal Open Market Committee is in a bind \u2014 cut too fast and tariffs could fuel inflation; move too slowly and the labor market weakens,\u201d Bloomberg Economics\u2019 Estelle Ou said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#2- ECB, BOE hold steady as inflation lingers: <\/strong>The European Central Bank is expected to keep its deposit rate at 2% through next year, with policymakers signaling comfort with current levels as inflation steadies near target. The Bank of England is also expected to hold its 4% rate amid renewed inflation concerns, with Governor Andrew Bailey warning of caution ahead of November\u2019s budget. Bloomberg Economics\u2019 Dan Hanson sees the BOE\u2019s terminal rate at 3.5%, noting cuts may resume only after clearer disinflation signs emerge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#4- Japan set to tighten policy amid rising prices: <\/strong>The Bank of Japan could raise its benchmark rate to 0.75% this year from 0.5%, as inflation stays near 3%. Governor Kazuo Ueda\u2019s hawkish tone and dissent within the board have strengthened expectations for a hike, possibly in October. \u201cEven dovish board members now see a case for tightening \u2014 the BOJ probably thinks it\u2019s safe to move,\u201d said Bloomberg Economics\u2019 Taro Kimura.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#5- Asia\u2019s outlook is mixed: <\/strong>The People\u2019s Bank of China is expected to deliver limited 4Q easing, trimming its 7-day reverse repo rate to 1.3% from 1.4% as it balances deflation risks with stock market stability. The Reserve Bank of India could cut rates twice before February, lowering its repo rate to 5.25% from 5.5% after a sharp downward revision to inflation forecasts. The Bank of Korea is also leaning toward further cuts, potentially reducing its policy rate to 2.25% from 2.5% as soon as this month or the next to support domestic demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#6- Canada, Australia to continue gradual easing: <\/strong>The Bank of Canada \u2014 which lowered its key rate to 2.5% in September \u2014 is expected to cut once more in December to 2.25% before pausing in 2026 as growth weakens under tariff pressures. The Reserve Bank of Australia is nearing the end of its easing cycle, with one final 25-basis-point cut expected in November to bring the cash rate to 3.35%, as policymakers assess inflation momentum, with Bloomberg projecting a gradual decline to 3.35% by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed this morning<\/strong>, with both Japan\u2019s Nikkei and the Shanghai Composite up over 0.5%, while Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng is inching down 0.7%.
