Profit before tax of £55.7m was up 18%. Net earnings were £37.9m, an 18% increase on last year’s £32.2m. Operating cashflow was £56.7m, an increase of £11.0m. The results were bolstered by the relative strength of the US dollar compared with the previous year. However, the results also include costs relating to restructuring the business with a more regional focus and the severance costs from a reduction in staffing f r o m t h e c h a i r m a n levels in the current economic climate. The Board is recommending a final dividend of 67.2p, 3% higher than last year, resulting in a dividend for the full year of 97.3p, an 8% rise over the previous year (excluding special dividend). The Group’s strong performance was led by The Economist itself, where circulation continued to rise (to 1,390,780) and our position in our advertising markets strengthened further. In July 2008 we bought Capitol Advantage, a business based in Washington, DC, which provides information and web services to help organisations mobilise grassroots activists. It has performed beyond expectations in the first months of our ownership. Most markets in which we operate are in economic turmoil, and these results show the strengths of our brands and our business. However, we will inevitably see significant pressure on advertising and sponsorship revenues in the coming year. That said, I believe that the Group will outperform its competition. The market in which Roll Call Group operates depends more on the amount of legislation before Congress, which is likely to be high given a new president and largely new Congress, than on the overall economy. The Economist is benefiting from a flight to quality among advertisers, its great relevance to readers and our business model, which emphasises “The Group’s strong performance was led by The Economist profitable circulation growth. I am itself, where circulation continued to rise” therefore confident that the Group will weather the current storm, even though we cannot expect to match the record results we have seen this year, while so many of the world’s major companies, on which much of our revenue depends, struggle. At the AGM, I shall step down from the Board after six years as chairman. I have greatly enjoyed my involvement with this remarkable company. There is no doubt in my mind that we can attract and retain many more talented people than would normally be possible for a company of this size. I refer here not only to the two exceptional chief executives with whom I have worked—Helen Alexander and, now, Andrew Rashbass—but to their management teams. The depth and quality of our editorial and management talent should reassure shareholders about future prospects, even in these turbulent times. Rupert Pennant-Rea will succeed me as chairman and needs no introduction to shareholders. He is not only a former editor, but is now a highly experienced businessman. I wish him and the Group every success in the future. robert wilson FRONT2009.indd 4 16/6/09 17:23:16 the group’s results show the quality and relevance of our brands and the exceptional commitment and skills of the people who work here. the year ahead will be tough, but we are well placed to improve our competitive position 5 IT HAS been a year of progress in many areas. At The Economist, worldwide circulation rose 6.4% in the year to 1,390,780. John Micklethwait observes: “Editorially, the year was dominated by the economic crisis. Much of our coverage was dictated by the dramatic weekly news, but we used our covers to spotlight the underlying trends such as the collapse of manufacturing, the debt crisis in eastern Europe and the emerging debate about the future f r o m t h e c h i e f of capitalism. The global nature of the crisis played to our strengths, e x e c u t i v e and our finance and economics team won a string of awards. Our endorsement of Barack Obama garnered huge interest. In Britain we campaigned against the extension of Heathrow. We began a new Asia column called Banyan, who, like his peers—Charlemagne, Lexington, Bagehot and Buttonwood—now has a blog online. This reflects the beginning of a quiet revolution within the editorial department: the integration of print and online teams.” We are making Economist.com the place for intelligent discussion on the web. For example, we have run debates on the effectiveness of carbon offsets and on whether brand America will regain its shine. This is resonating with readers and advertisers, with page views up 53% year-on-year and advertising revenue up 29%. Organisations increasingly look to the research capabilities of the Economist Intelligence Unit to help them operate more effectively as they investigate where to invest and how to grow. An example is the recently- launched forecasting service on China’s provinces.

  • Our Gender-Pay-Gap Report
    Gender pay gap report 2020 Gender pay gap report 2020 Foreword The Economist Group is committed to being an organisation that promotes belonging and aims to have a Group culture that reflects inclusivity, diversity, and excellence. In our fourth year of reporting, the UK data shows a great improvement at the mean and, more importantly, at the median, where our gender pay gap has improved by one-third this year. The analysis indicates that changes in practices and policies, as described at the end of the report, have resulted in the improvement in the numbers. We have consistently reduced the fixed pay gap over the last three years with major improvements in the proportion of women recruited in higher paid roles (see page 6). However, we are far from parity and men still dominate the top quartile for pay despite the Group employing similar numbers of women and men. We are pleased to be making progress, and we are committed to the critical work ahead. We recognise the gender pay gap is still significant, and we are working to change it. Lara Boro Chief Executive March 2021 2 Gender pay gap report 2020 1. The UK gender pay gap (as per UK Government reporting guidelines) On the snapshot date of 5th April 2020, the Group employed 751 people in the UK (364 women and 387 men), mainly in London and Birmingham including editorial colleagues, marketing, research, sales, technology, consultancy, head office and support functions. Gender pay gap Women’s hourly pay rate* vs men’s Our gender pay gap has improved by one-third this year.

    Working Paper No. 163 Liberation technology: Mobile phones and political mobilization in Africa by Marco Manacorda and Andrea Tesei | April 2016 1 Afrobarometer Working Papers Working Paper No. 163 Liberation technology: Mobile phones and political mobilization in Africa by Marco Manacorda and Andrea Tesei | April 2016 Marco Manacorda is a professor at Queen Mary University of London, a CEP (LSE) research associate, and a CEPR research fellow. Email: [email protected]. Andrea Tesei is a lecturer at Queen Mary University of London and a CEP (LSE) research associate. Email: [email protected]. Abstract Can digital information and communication technology (ICT) foster mass political mobilization? We use a novel geo-referenced dataset for the entire African continent between 1998 and 2012 on the coverage of mobile phone signal together with geo-referenced data from multiple sources on the occurrence of protests and on individual participation in protests to bring this argument to empirical scrutiny. We find that mobile phones are instrumental to mass mobilization during economic downturns, when reasons for grievance emerge and the cost of participation falls. Estimated effects are if anything larger once we use an instrumental variable approach that relies on differential trends in coverage across areas with different incidence of lightning strikes. The results are in line with insights from a network model with imperfect information and strategic complementarities in protest provision. Mobile phones make individuals more responsive to both changes in economic conditions – a mechanism that we ascribe to enhanced information – and to their neighbours’ participation – a mechanism that we ascribe to enhanced coordination.

  • Undermining the Rights and Safety of Workers
    Dirty Metals Undermining the Rights and Safety of Workers Mineworker in South Africa / n October 9, 2003, the south face of the Grasberg gold mine in West Papua, Indonesia, collapsed. OEight workers died and five others were injured. Government investigators turned up evidence that in the days leading up to the accident, seismic data had led mine operators to suspect that slippage was immi- nent, and that key machinery—but not workers—had been moved from below the unstable zone. These were not the first deaths at the Grasberg mine, the largest open-pit gold mine in the world. In May 2000, a landslide at the mine’s waste dump claimed four lives, prompting environmentalists and government Photo: ICEM officials to question the safety of recent production increases.46 In 1983, the chief safety engineer of an unnamed South Rock falls, tunnel collapses, fires, heat exhaustion, and African mining corporation told the Economist that “produc- other dangers claim the lives of over 15,000 miners every tion is more important than safety.” No one in a similar posi- year.

    The Economist Intelligence Unit 20 Cabot Square London E14 4QW Telephone 020 7576 8000 Fax 020 7576 8500 www.eiu.com Press release Press enquiries Joanne McKenna: +44 (0)20 7576 8188 or [email protected] For immediate release: Asking better questions of data boosts performance, says Economist Intelligence Unit report An ability to ask better questions of data is central to driving better business outcomes, according to In search of insight and foresight: Getting more out of big data, an Economist Intelligence Unit report, sponsored by Oracle and Intel. According to a global EIU survey for this report, the vast majority of executives agree that asking better questions of data has already improved their organisation’s performance and will continue to lift it in the coming years. Nevertheless, many companies struggle to use data to gain insight into their business—and foresight into how best to move it forward. Lessons from successful firms reveal that achieving insight and foresight requires crafting savvy questions that test smart hypotheses, both of which are best fostered by open corporate cultures that prize data and its exploration. Other key findings include: • Focusing on a business outcome is crucial, yet a struggle for most companies. Defining, agreeing on and gearing data analyses towards clear, specific and relevant business objectives is difficult for many companies and a critical obstacle to translating data into insights, results and competitive advantage. Executives overwhelmingly consider predictions (70%) the most critical type of data insight for C-level decisions, followed by insights into trends (43%). • The main challenges are people-related.
