The weight of FAR bonds will be increased in increments of 10 per cent of their full market value every month over the 10 months ending October 2025, at which point they will be weighted at their full market value in the indices, it added.
The indices in scope for inclusion include the Bloomberg EM Local Currency Government Index, the Bloomberg EM Local Currency Government Index 10 per cent Country Capped Index, and all related sub-indices, it said.
