Dubai – Mubasher: Mubasher Media celebrated the launch of the first edition of its economic magazine, as a valuable addition to a package of expert media products it provides which are topped by the regional award-winning electronic financial portal Mubasher.info.
The magazine, to be published in Arabic on a monthly basis, will focus on the region’s financial sector. It will also cover other economic sectors like energy, real estate, tourism and travel, telecommunication and technology.
Launched in 2006, Mubasher.info has been offering premier financial news, analyses and corporate data to investors and businessmen especially those concerned mainly by equity markets. It later expanded its coverage to include most Arab bourses, thanks to a network of highly professional reporters and journalists located across the Arab World.
The new magazine will mainly feature exclusive interviews with high-profile figures in the business arena, as well as government officials, experts and analysts who provide profound insights into the region’s economies and present various viewpoints that are be of great value for decision makers both in the public and private sectors.
In the editorial of the magazine’s first issue, Yousef Rafayah, General Manager at Mubasher Media, said “Over ten years of occupying a leading position in the digital world via Mubasher financial portal, we have been offering a unique experience in formulating economic content specially tailored for the Arab region and that serves capital market investors, based on detailed information and data sources. Now we take another step forward.”
Rafayah continued “By launching the first edition of Mubasher economic magazine, we present a new product to our readers and investors, to be added to other exclusive products including Mubasher Radio, Mubasher.info and other more specialised services for both corporations and individuals.”
While the radio and the Internet are seen as ‘immediate’ media channels in bringing forward information, paper magazines continue to take the lead in terms of providing readers with sound meaning and understanding and deep analysis in a tangible form, the GM added.
For his part, Mahmoud Mekkawy, Head of News at Mubasher Media, said “The magazine’s first edition will include detailed reports and analyses that help investors better understand economic conditions in the region.”
The editorial staff has a major goal to make the magazine an indispensible reference for investors and readers alike, Mekkawy noted.
“We operate via a team of reporters based in several Arab countries, who prepare reports and other exclusive editorial material that will provide readers with a better opportunity to enjoy reading highly-rich and valuable topics,” said Mekkawy.
