Indonesia's stock market slipped behind Singapore's, making Singapore the largest equity market in Southeast Asia with a market capitalization of $645 billion, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Indonesia's market capitalization has fallen 30% since January to $618 billion, amid credit rating outlook downgrades from Fitch Ratings and Moody's, as well as concerns that Indonesian equities could be reclassified as frontier market assets.
Singapore's market, on the other hand, has thrived due to economic and political stability and beneficial state policies, Singapore's stock market is poised to outperform Indonesia's by a record lead in 2026, according to the report.
