STOXX INDEX METHODOLOGY GUIDE
3. COVERAGE
3.3. REGIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS
STOXX will review the regional classifications and index compositions in case a country announces to
change its currency and its companies adopt a new local currency at a future date. Changes will be
implemented with two trading days notice provided that orderly trading in the original currency is possible
following the announcement.
In addition, STOXX generally reviews a country's eligibility to any index at short notice in case of major
market disruptions in that country.
