[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] JP Morgan has decided to exclude Russia from all bond indices, Bloomberg News reported on the 7th (local time).


According to the report, JP Morgan announced in a statement that starting from the 31st of this month, Russian bonds will be excluded from all JP Morgan bond indices, including the Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI), Global Emerging Markets Government Bond Index (GBI-EM), and Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Index (CEMBI). This move by JP Morgan is interpreted as a response to Russia's airstrikes on Ukraine.



Earlier, JP Morgan warned in a report that Russia is highly likely to default on dollar bonds maturing on the 16th due to sanctions imposed by Western countries in response to Ukraine supply issues, indicating a high possibility of a default declaration.
