If Barito Renewables Energy (BREN IJ)  is to be excluded from the index, the larger caps i.e. banks are expected to receive the subsequent reallocation of inflows. 
The outflows so far (YTD) mainly came from active managers; thus, more could come from passive flows. 
If Vietnam were to be included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MXEF INDEX), the weighting would likely be small, therefore, with negligible impact on Indonesia's weighting.
