	[IMAGE] 	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] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Well-organised 							
		 [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [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.   							
		 [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Up-to-date 							
		 [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] 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 .   							
		 [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Predictive 							
		 [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] 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.   							
	[IMAGE]	Economist.com  Country Briefings also provide:  [IMAGE]
