  "summary": "Qatari Stock Exchange (QSE) has announced that the FTSE Russell Global Equity Index Series will undergo a semi-annual review in September 2026, with the results taking effect on September 17. The review resulted in the deletion of Mosanada Facilities Management Services and QLM Life and Medical Insurance from the Micro Cap Segment of the index. No new Qatari companies were added or existing ones reclassified during the review cycle, leaving the overall composition of the Qatari market unchanged, aside from the two deletions. The changes are currently subject to revision until September 4, after which they will be considered final and effective from September 7, before becoming fully operational on September 17. The FTSE Russell index is widely followed by international investors and serves as a significant reference point for global investment portfolios, particularly for emerging-market indices tracked by asset managers and investment funds seeking exposure to developing economies, including Qatar.",
