The underlying bond issues must be worth no less than US$2bn, traded no less than 12 days per month and rated at least by one international rating agency (BB-/Вaa3 or higher). The list of underlying securities is reviewed on a monthly basis. Currently these indices are calculated for major EM countries (Brazil, India, China, Indonesia, Mexico and others), and also composite indices for regions (Asia, Africa, LatAm, CEE) and global EM universe.[7]
