MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) is proceeding with the upgrade of the Greek stock market to developed market status, with the change set to take effect in May 2027. The upgrade of the stock market by MSCI essentially also signifies an upgrade of the Greek economy. It marks a milestone for the domestic capital market and reflects the progress that the Greek economy has made in recent years.
According to the Athens Stock Exchange, Greece’s upgrade to Developed Market status will bring key benefits:
Access to Global Capital: Unlocks trillions from funds investing only in developed markets.
Broader Investor Base: Attracts high-quality, long-term institutional investors.
Validation of Reforms: Recognizes a decade of economic and market modernization.
Boost to Passive Flows: Triggers ETF purchases linked to FTSE, MSCI, and S&P developed market indices.
Greater Visibility: Increases global analyst coverage of Greek companies.
Better Market Quality: Shifts trading from speculative to stable institutional investing.
Alignment with Investment Grade: Consolidates Greece’s dual status as a developed jurisdiction for both the sovereign bond market and equity markets.
Higher Transparency Standards: Aligns companies with top ESG and international practices.
