Argentina, Peru, Romania and Tanzania will each be reclassified to a different market status in September, according to index provider FTSE Russell's March interim review.
Peru will be reclassified to frontier market status from secondary emerging market status, effective in one tranche, while Romania will be reclassified to secondary emerging market status from frontier market status.

Romania's reclassification is subject to two Romanian securities meeting the eligibility screens for the FTSE Global All Cap index, the review said. Argentina, meanwhile, will become unclassified from frontier market status in September, subject to "existing capital controls not being removed by Sept. 28," the review said.

FTSE Russell originally announced its intention to explore moving Argentina to unclassified status in January after the Banco Central de la Republica Argentina's announcement to extend capital controls beyond the original Dec. 31, 2019, expiration date. Tanzania will be reclassified to frontier market status from unclassified status in September as well, effective in one tranche, according to the review.

Frontier Markets:

A frontier market is a type of developing country which is more developed than the least developing countries, but too small, risky, or illiquid to be generally considered an emerging market. The term is an economic term which was coined by International Finance Corporation’s Farida Khambata in 1992. The term is commonly used to describe the equity markets of the smaller and less accessible, but still "investable", countries of the developing world..

The frontier, or pre-emerging equity markets are typically pursued by investors seeking high, long-run return potential as well as low correlations with other markets. Some frontier market countries were emerging markets in the past, but have regressed to frontier status.

Wawekezaji wakubwa na wadogo watakuwa wanaangalia/kununua shares kwenye makampuni yaliyoko Tanzania kwa urahisi zaidi kutokana na kupanda ranking katika markets (Stock Exchanges). Kama unafuatilia utaona jinsi makampuni kama ya sigara, au vinywaji (beer), CRDB etc na yale ambayo shares zao zinauzwa kwenye soko la Dar Es Salaam zitakavyokuwa na ushindani kutokana na performance za makampuni hayo kwa sababu zile stock exchanges kubwa kama vile London Stock Exchange, New York etc kutakuwa na interest kubwa/kuongezeka kwa wateja. ie Biashara ya makampuni ya Tanzania itakuwa na nguvu kiasi flani kwenye masoko ya kimataifa. Mfano hivi sasa makampuni yote yanayochimba madini yanafuatiliwa kwa ukaribu sana na investors waliopo nje ya Tanzania kutokana na ufanisi au profits zinazopatikana.

Natumaini nimefafanua kidogo.
