Al Ahram Al Iktisadi (Arabic: الأهرام الإقتصادي) is a weekly business magazine headquartered in Cairo, Egypt. It is one of the publications produced by Al Ahram Organisation and has several sister publications, including Al Ahram Weekly, Al Siyassa Al Dawliya, Al Ahram Al Arabi and Al Ahram among others.[1]
Al Ahram Al Iktisadi was designed based on the British business magazine The Economist[2] and was first published in Cairo in August 1958.[3] It is published by the state-owned Al Ahram Organisation on a weekly basis.[3][4] The magazine has issued several supplements.[3] Its target audience is primarily government officials and academics dealing with finance and economics.[2]
Editors
In the mid-1970s and at the beginning of the 1980s the editor-in-chief was Lutfi Abdul Azim.[5][6] Shahira El Rafei served as the managing editor of Al Ahram Al Iktisadi.[7] In September 2020 Khalifa Adham Ahmed Khalil was appointed editor-in-chief of the magazine.[8]
A woman activist, Sana Al Misri, was working for the magazine in the 1980s, but she was fired due to her participation in the protests against Israel near to the Israeli embassy in Giza in October 1985.[9] Although she won the case later, she did not continue her work at Al Ahram Al Iktisadi.[9]
