Nikkei Asia

Nikkei Asia is owned by Nikkei, Inc., Japan’s largest financial news group and the publisher of the country’s leading business daily, The Nikkei. In July 2015, Nikkei, Inc. acquired the London-based Financial Times from Pearson PLC for £844 million, marking a significant expansion of its international media portfolio.{{cite news |last=Plunkett |first=John |title=Nikkei agrees to buy FT Group for £844m |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jul/23/financial-times-sale-pearson |work=The Guardian |date=24 July 2015 |access-date=19 May 2025}}

Since the acquisition, editorial collaboration between Nikkei Asia and the Financial Times has deepened, including content sharing, joint reporting on major regional developments, and cross-posting of selected articles. Journalists from the Financial Times are occasionally seconded to Nikkei Asia as part of staff exchange programs aimed at promoting international best practices in financial and geopolitical journalism.{{cite web |title=Nikkei Asia |url=https://www.ft.com/nikkei-asia |website=Financial Times |access-date=5 October 2020}}

The magazine was launched in November 2013 under the title Nikkei Asian Review by Nikkei, Inc. to address growing global interest in Asian economies and to provide in-depth reporting on regional business and politics. It aimed to serve business executives, investors, policymakers, and academics by offering analysis and commentary from correspondents across Asia.{{cite news |last=Greenslade |first=Roy |title=Nikkei launches new Asian magazine |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2013/nov/21/nikkei-japan |work=The Guardian |date=21 November 2013 |access-date=19 May 2025}}

In September 2020, the publication rebranded as Nikkei Asia, reflecting a shift toward a digital-first model and a broader editorial mandate to reach an international audience beyond business readers. The rebranding was part of Nikkei's effort to position the magazine as a central voice in global conversations about Asia's geopolitical and economic transformation.{{cite web |title=Nikkei's English-language media renamed to "Nikkei Asia" |url=https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO64228160V20C20A9000000/ |website=Nikkei |language=ja |date=30 September 2020 |access-date=19 May 2025}}

Nikkei Asia targets a global readership that includes investors, business leaders, policy analysts, and scholars interested in Asia's economic and political developments. Its coverage resonates particularly in markets such as Japan, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, and the United States.

The magazine is also available through institutional subscriptions at major universities and business schools, including Harvard Business School, INSEAD, and the University of Tokyo.{{cite web |title=Nikkei Asian Review |url=https://www.library.hbs.edu/databases-cases-and-more/databases/nikkei-asian-review |website=Harvard Business School |access-date=19 May 2025}}
