MSCI Announces the Results of the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), a leading provider of critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community, announced today the results of the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review. The detailed report, covering market accessibility assessments for 86 markets, has been made available on Bulgaria is not included in the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review report released today. Information for this market will be made available on June 24, 2025, concurrent with the MSCI 2025 Annual Market Classification Review announcement. As a reminder, Bulgaria is under review for potential reclassification from Standalone Market status to Frontier Market status. Key takeaways: There were more improvements than deteriorations in market accessibility ratings. A significant portion of those improvements are attributed to developments in Market Infrastructure across Emerging and Frontier Markets. The MSCI Global Market Accessibility Review aims to assess and track the evolution of accessibility in individual markets, and to inform market authorities about areas that global institutional investors perceive as not meeting international standards and would welcome improvements. Consistent with prior years, the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review provides a detailed assessment of market accessibility for each equity market included in the MSCI Indexes and evaluates the following five market accessibility criteria: Openness to foreign ownership Ease of capital inflows/outflows Efficiency of the operational framework Availability of investment instruments Stability of the institutional framework These five criteria reflect areas that international institutional investors generally place strong emphasis on when evaluating investment accessibility of a market, including equal treatment of investors, free flow of capital, cost of investment, unrestrictive use of stock market data, and market-specific risk. MSCI uses 18 distinct accessibility measures to assess these five criteria, described in detail in the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review report. Market accessibility, along with economic development and size and liquidity, determine classification of markets into Developed, Emerging, Frontier and Standalone Markets. The classification of markets is a key input in the process of index construction as it determines the composition of the investment opportunity sets to be represented. The results of the MSCI 2025 Annual Market Classification Review will be announced on June 24, 2025. More information on the MSCI Market Classification Framework is available at -Ends- About MSCI MSCI is a leading provider of critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community.

Genasys Inc. Reports Increasing Demand for CONNECT in Wake of 'Signalgate'
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader In Protective Communications, today announced increasing interest and orders for CONNECT, the company's fully compliant, mission-critical communications platform for government and law enforcement. 'Greater demand for CONNECT has been spurred by the 'Signalgate' controversy, where several members of the federal government used the Signal messaging app for sensitive information sharing,' said Chief Jeff Halstead (Ret.), Genasys Senior Director of Strategic Accounts. 'Since the controversy, we are experiencing increasing demand for CONNECT information, demonstrations and orders from public safety leaders in small towns and large metro areas across the United States.' To date, strong order demand and contract renewals have grown CONNECT coverage in 41 states and more than 500 agencies, with other states and multiple agencies in deployment trials. 'Many public safety leaders now understand the importance and legal requirements of owning and controlling Interactions when planning and responding to crisis events,' Chief Halstead continued, 'During the last two weeks of national protests, I was contacted by more than a dozen police chiefs thanking me for helping them elevate their communication networks. Through CONNECT, many of them were able to regionally respond to mass protests in just a few minutes.' CONNECT Platform Advantages Heavily encrypted messaging from any device to all devices All messages and data are fully owned and controlled by the agency (Genasys has no access to data, chats, or information) Fortified Team chats where it is impossible for any person to be mistakenly added Nothing can be deleted or altered to maintain compliance Unlimited data sharing, photos, videos and documents Screenshot protection No push/share features prevent secure communications from being posted on social media All persons added to CONNECT are logged and tracked (they can only be added by sending an encrypted invitation directly to them) All data, chats and attachments are owned by the agency and can be easily reviewed in 30 seconds Complete transparency and accountability from all elected officials and law enforcement agencies Full compliance with FOIA, CJIS/FBI, public records retention laws and HIPAA Encrypted communications platforms like Signal are designed to allow users to hide or delete communications. Using CONNECT, a fully compliant encrypted communications platform specifically created for governmental operations, local, state, and federal governments/agencies can avoid the problems and fallout created by using non-FOIA-compliant consumer apps.
