FTSE Russell delays inclusion of South Korea and India in global bond indexes, keeping them on watchlist for six months.

FTSE Russell has delayed the inclusion of South Korea and India in its global bond indexes, keeping them on the watchlist for another six months. Both countries were not included in the indexes during their last review in September 2023. South Korea's government bond market continues to make progress towards fulfilling the criteria, while India's market still doesn't satisfy certain criteria, including increased regulatory reporting and tax clearance processes.
