PETALING JAYA: As investors digest the implication of China’s impending entry into the Morgan Stanley Capital International’s (MSCI) global emerging markets (EM) benchmark index, analysts say the decision by United States-based index provider MSCI to include Chinese stocks from next year will only have a limited impact on other EM shares, including those in Malaysia.
