Expense Narrative [Text Block]	The following table describes the fees and expenses of the Fund during liquidation of its portfolio. Amounts in the table are rounded to the nearest basis point, which in some cases may be “0.00.” The investment advisory agreement between iShares, Inc. (the “Company”) and BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) provides that BFA will pay all operating expenses of the Fund, except: (i) the management fees, (ii) interest expenses, (iii) taxes, (iv) expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions, (v) distribution fees or expenses, and (vi) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses. The Fund may incur “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.” Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses reflect the Fund’s pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investing in other investment companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the Fund’s total return but is not included in the Fund’s ratio of expenses to average net assets. Both figures are shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus (the “Prospectus”). BFA has implemented a waiver of the Fund's management fee, which will continue in effect while the Fund liquidates. BFA will bear all Liquidation Expenses (as defined below) that do not qualify as Fund expenses under the investment advisory agreement with BFA. The Fund will bear only those Liquidation Expenses that qualify as Fund expenses under the investment advisory agreement with BFA. “Liquidation Expenses” include the expenses incurred in connection with carrying out the plan of liquidation with respect to the Fund, including, but not limited to, printing and legal expenses, and the expenses of reports to shareholders. Liquidation Expenses will not be deemed to be “extraordinary expenses” under the Fund's investment advisory agreement.
