FTSE Russell to Include India and South Korea Bonds in Global Indices
FTSE Russell announced it will include India’s sovereign bonds in its Emerging Markets Government Bond Index (EMGBI) starting September 2025, following similar inclusions by JP Morgan and Bloomberg. This move is expected to attract billions of dollars in foreign investments to India's bond market.
India’s bonds, which will represent 9.35% of the EMGBI, were on FTSE’s watchlist for three years. The index, with a total market value of $4.7 trillion, will significantly boost demand for Indian bonds, which have already seen $18.5 billion in foreign inflows since JP Morgan’s announcement in September 2023.
In addition, South Korea’s government bonds will be added to the FTSE World Government Bond Index (WGBI) in November 2025, after two years on FTSE's watchlist. South Korean bonds will make up 2.22% of the WGBI, presenting new investment opportunities for international markets.
This inclusion of Indian and South Korean bonds in major indices underscores the increasing global appeal and accessibility of these emerging markets.
