The Economist, a privately owned company headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1843 and employs approximately 4920 individuals, primarily focusing on newspaper publishing. The company functions as a current affairs publication.
The Economist projected Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to win the 2027 election on October 3, 2026, citing the country’s "complicated electoral dynamics" as favoring the incumbent despite continuing security and economic challenges. Previously, on September 29, the UK Home Office published contract details for subscriptions to The Economist, explaining the need to improve officials' performance and advice to ministers. This followed the Home Office's contract award notice for the subscriptions, issued on September 18. Earlier, on September 12, The Economist announced its 2024-25 Marjorie Deane internship program, which includes at least two paid six-month placements in London for aspiring business, finance, and economics writers.
