And while everyone was waiting for MSCI Standard Greece to acquire the 11th member – share, with the eventual addition of Titan Cement, finally took place negative scenario: That is, not adding Titan and removing it Motor Oil.

The result is that MSCI’s main index is now left with the following nine stocks: Ethniki, Eurobank, Piraeus, Metlen, Alpha, OPAP, Jumbo, OTE and PPC.

Nevertheless, the Stock exchange continues to have a higher representation in MSCI compared to the average of previous years. After all, since the summer of 2018, when the third memorandum expired, the number «10» is the maximum, while the current figure of “9” is the second best performance of the 6-year period.

The beginning with “8”

In the summer of 2018, eight shares were included in the MSCI Standard Greece: OTE, OPAP, Alpha, Jumbo, Titan, Piraeus, Ethniki and Eurobank. At the end of August, Motor Oil became the 9th member of the Greek team, although in November followed their deletion Piraeus, Ethnikis and Eurobankas a result of which the year ended with OTE, OPAP, Alpha, Jumbo, Motor Oil and Titan making up Standard Greece.
