Quote:

"The decision, announced late Tuesday, is the first time the index provider demoted a country from its 'developed' to its 'emerging-market' category since the launch of its flagship emerging-markets index in 1987.

"While there is some debate as to how certain countries should be labeled, MSCI emphasizes size and accessibility of stock markets. Developed markets tend to have large stock markets and rules that encourage foreign investment, while the opposite is often true for emerging markets.

"South Korea and Taiwan, however, will maintain their status as emerging markets [therefore not upgraded to 'developed'], MSCI said. The firm has kept South Korea under review for a potential upgrade to developed-market status since June 2008, while Taiwan has been under review since June 2009.
