while our company is new, our products are not. Our IntelliNews service has been reporting on Eastern Europe since 1996. Using analysts, editors and economists native to the regions about which they write and report, we have long been a staple in the daily diet of top City and Wall Street analysts and business professionals with Emerging Market remits. Their fortunes hinge on being aware, informed and ahead of their competitors, and it is our job to see that they stay there. In addition to our IntelliNews line (and following the same philosophy of emphasizing ‘on the ground’ staff and expertise) we publish a series of industry analyses, which are made available through premium channels such as ISI Emerging Markets and Bloomberg, as well as via our own storefront on these pages. Emerging Markets Direct is headquartered in Boston, with further editorial bureaus in Istanbul, Sofia and Kuala Lumpur, and with staff in a further 12 countries in Asia, the Mena region and Europe.

primarily in the financial sector. At the core of the IntelliNews service are the daily reports. Each report is a two page summary of market moving events in a given country. Distributed 5 days a week these dailies combine news, analysis, comments and forecasts, focusing on macroeconomics and country specific politics, as well as major financial and corporate news. Born to meet the needs of analysts in the City of London who cover Central Europe, IntelliNews reports arrive by 0700 HRS GMT, before the market opens, and in time to influence trading or business strategies.
