Bloomberg Delays Inclusion of Indian Government Bonds in Global Aggregate Index
Bloomberg Index Services has postponed its decision to include Indian government bonds in the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index, citing the need for recent market reforms to be more firmly established in daily trading practices. While acknowledging significant progress such as expanded electronic trading and removal of withholding and capital gains taxes for eligible foreign investors, Bloomberg and market participants seek further evidence of smooth implementation before final inclusion. The decision maintains India's bonds under ongoing review amid efforts to attract more foreign investment.
