MSCI’s clients want Beijing to open its capital accounts so they can reliably move their money in and out of China’s markets, but the economy is facing its slowest growth in decades, which has led to capital flowing out of the country. For China, inclusion in the index could over time bring an estimated $400-billion into its stock markets and would help in its drive to internationalize the yuan currency.”
