On 15 August the Singapore Exchange Derivatives Trading (SGX) requested an expedited Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) review of the SGX’s MSCI Indonesia Index futures contract so that it could be offered to US persons.

SGX also requested that the contract may be made available through direct access terminals in the US.

The CFTC’s division of market oversight reviewed the contract and determined that it satisfied the requirements of the Commodity Exchange Act and the Commission’s regulations, and approved both requests.
