INTERFAX GROUP: A PROFILE The Interfax Information Services Group is the leader in the information markets of Russia and the rest of the Commonwealth of Independent States and a reliable source of political and financial news from emerging markets in Europe, Central Asia, and China.
The Group comprises more than 20 companies, which provide news and analytical reports covering the entire spectrum of political, financial, and economic events, and unique specialized agencies dealing with principal financial markets and economic sectors.
The Group issues over seventy specialized information publications in Russian and English. In addition, Group companies offer their customers unique services based on state-of-the-art information technology, including news and analysis databases and trading systems.
There are Group divisions that develop specialist software and cooperate with leading international information organizations.
The Group's slogan, News Technology, reflects Interfax's high professional standards and its principle of using some of the latest information technology to make its quickly-provided information more accessible and more convenient to use.
The Group's history goes back to 1989, the year that the Interfax news agency was created. It is the first non-state-owned news service in the Soviet Union and a pioneer in objective and accurate political reporting from that country.
Around 1990, the Interfax agency set standards that have been adopted by all of the Russian media. From its first years of existence, Interfax has been the main source of immediate information on Russia and the rest of the CIS. Since then, it has invariably been the most frequently cited Russian news agency in the foreign press and one of the world's most frequently used sources of prompt information.
Interfax is also expanding its operations in other CIS countries, where there are national agencies using the Interfax trademark - Interfax-Ukraine, Interfax-Kazakhstan, Interfax-Azerbaijan, and Interfax-West in Belarus.
In the early 1990s, Interfax expanded beyond the boundaries of the former Soviet Union, setting up branches in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland (Interfax-Europe Ltd.). In 2000, Interfax launched an agency in China. Today, Interfax-China is the Group's largest information project outside Russia.
Since the mid-1990s, the Group has been working intensively to enlarge its range of services for financial markets: it has set up the Economic Analysis Center, Interfax Rating Agency, and the Corporate Information Agency and has developed Russia's largest system for the collection and analysis of corporate information, called SPARK. It has also developed unique software products for the stock market. Among them are the Interfax-Dealing information and trading system, run by a company of the same name, the EfiR information system, and Intermoney electronic broker system.
Specialist projects hold one of the more important places in Interfax's business. In addition to what are the leaders in their fields, the Financial and Economic Information Agency (Interfax-FIA) and the Petroleum Information Agency (Interfax-PIA), a new organization has been created, Interfax-Telecom, an agency that issues informational and analytical products for the telecommunications market.
The Gas Information Agency (Interfax-GIA), set up in July 2003, is the only independent service for information on the natural gas industry in Russia and the rest of the CIS.
Interfax has also set up a Metallurgic Information Agency and has launched a series of publications for insurance companies.
Among the thousands of Interfax's customers are the governments of most countries, leading Russian and foreign media groups, banks, investment companies, and investment funds all over the world.
