Nihon Keizai Shimbun

The Nikkei, formally known as the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, stands as the definitive voice of Japanese business. Based in Tokyo, this flagship publication of Nikkei Inc. holds the title of the world's largest financial newspaper by circulation, boasting over three million daily subscribers. Its influence extends far beyond newsprint, serving as the engine behind the Nikkei 225, a premier stock market index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange that the paper has calculated since 1950. As the nation's sole dedicated business daily, it fills a unique niche that general interest papers simply cannot match.[edit]
