On February 25, JPMorgan Chase announced that it will remove the United Arab Emirates from its core emerging market bond index system, with several benchmarks including the EMBI Global Diversified Index being adjusted accordingly. Currently, the UAE accounts for approximately 4.1% of the relevant indices.
