bne IntelliNews was created in 2014 with the merger of business new europe and Emerging Markets Direct. bne IntelliNews is a part of New Sparta Holdings. business new europe (bne) was founded in 2006 by a group of journalists who had been covering emerging Europe for more than a decade. It remains the only English-language publication that covers the more than 30 countries of Central, Eastern and Southeast Europe and Central Asia (CEE/CIS). We have found the best journalists in each of the countries of the region, who not only report on the progress each country makes as the process of convergence continues, but can draw on their experience and contacts to write forward-looking commentary and analyses of where each country is going. Not just the "what"​ but also the "why."​ The idea is to provide pragmatic and actionable information for investors and companies working in or with the region that will help them with their business. In addition, bne IntelliNews acts as an "intelligent filter"​ offering fast, timely, highly specialized political and business news and analyses that conserves your valuable resources with its IntelliNews daily news updates. Keep pace with the events that signal change in these emerging markets. Find out 90% of what you need to know in 20% of the reading time. Finally, bne IntelliNews not only reports the stories in each country, it reports on what the market is saying about the story. Sentiment remains as big a driver of these markets as the reality on the ground, and often the markets react contrary to what the fundamentals suggest is the most appropriate action, but bne reports on these developments too.
