The Economist Group Businesses

The success of the Group is built on high-quality, insightful and independent analysis. While The Economist continues to underpin many of our values, the fact that we can create and distribute a compelling view of the world over multiple platforms, including print, web and digital editions, plus events, is a source of strength.

The publications and services delivered under The Economist Group include: The Economist newspaper, Economist.com, the Economist Intelligence Unit, The Economist Events, The Economist Corporate Network, The World In… and Intelligent Life.

Our government brand is CQ Roll Call which is aimed at decision-makers in Capitol Hill. The Group also owns EuroFinance, the leading global provider of conferences, training and research on cash management, treasury and risk, and TVC, a London-based digital marketing agency.

The Economist

Edited in London since 1843, The Economist is a weekly international news and business publication, offering clear reporting, commentary and analysis on world current affairs, business, finance, science and technology, culture, society, media and the arts. As noted on its contents page, The Economist’s goal is to “take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress.”

In March 2014 circulation stood at 1.6m worldwide. It also publishes an annual compilation of forecasts, The World in…, which examines the critical issues that will shape the year ahead. Its lifestyle cousin, 1843, is a bi-monthly magazine covering the things that the intellectually curious value in their private lives—from travel and food, to philanthropy and health, to design and the arts.
