RIYADH: Asharq News Network, part of the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG), has marked its fifth anniversary, highlighting five years of growth and expansion in Arabic-language journalism across the region.
Since its first broadcast in November 2020, Asharq has grown from a single business news channel into the Arab world’s leading multi-platform news network – now the region’s most followed business news service on social media – and has earned more than 260 international awards for editorial excellence, creativity, and production quality.
Launched during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Asharq Business with Bloomberg was founded with a core mission to provide clarity in times of uncertainty.
Through its partnership with Bloomberg Media, Asharq set a new benchmark for Arabic financial journalism, blending global market insights with a regional perspective to support decision-makers and inform investors when accuracy was crucial.
Jomana AlRashid, CEO of SRMG, said: “Asharq started with a vision to create the Arab world’s most trusted and modern news brand.”
