		Dear Economist.com reader
		
		Economist.com's Country Briefings is the essential insider's tool for 
researching  countries. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world's 
leading provider  of country analysis, and The Economist have teamed up to 
create a service  which is:
		
		[IMAGE]
								
		
		
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		Comprehensive
								
		
		
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		60 countries from Algeria  to Vietnam covering more than 98% of the world's 
GDP. For each country we have  brought together succinct forecasts, economic 
and political profiles, core statistics,  essential recent articles and 
in-depth surveys from The Economist. We also  bring you headlines from around 
the web and links to relevant websites. If you  could only use one countries 
resource, you'd want it to be Country Briefings.

		[IMAGE]
		Well-organised

		[IMAGE]

		Every story is hand-picked  by our expert team and the site is organised in a 
way that makes it easy for you  to find the information you need. Each 
country follows the same format so you  can compare countries easily. 
Contrast, for instance, a search for "China" on  your favourite search engine 
with our coverage.
		
		
								
		
		
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		Authoritative, clear  and concise
								
		
		
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		[IMAGE]
		The content has all  the independence and authority of The Economist. Based 
on the insight of  the in-country global network of EIU analysts and The 
Economist's journalists,  Country Briefings gives you timely information you 
can trust on the trends and  developments in emerging and established 
markets, all written with the clarity  you would expect from The Economist. 
Don't just listen to the pronouncements  of government officials-get rigorous 
analysis from Country Briefings.

		The information on Country  Briefings is regularly updated so you always have 
the latest analysis of economic  and political trends. How is the new 
government changing Japan?  Brush up on the political system, read our 
analysis in last week's edition of The Economist, track the movements of the 
Nikkei this week and the current value of the yen,  and prepare yourself with 
the latest EIU forecast.

		Unlike many sites which  concentrate on reporting the news, we analyse the 
past and forecast the future.  Which country is the safer bet for future 
investment, Argentina or Brazil? What will  be the effect of political 
uncertainty in Turkey?  Is Ukraine becoming  more or less transparent? 
Forewarned is forearmed with Country Briefings.
