History and profile

Le Nouvel Économiste resulted from the merger in 1975 of the titles Entreprise (controlled by Hachette) and Informations industrielles et commerciales (owned by Havas) under the management of Jacques Klein and then Daniel Jouve and Michel Tardieu, following the merger of the publishing groups Usine Participation and Compagnie française d'édition, which became Compagnie européenne de publications (CEP) . In 1978, CEP and Hachette each held half the capital of Le Nouvel Économiste. In December 1986, Hachette Filipacchi Publications increased its stake to 55%. During the first 10 years, the title's advertising revenues ‘were among the highest in the French economic and financial press ’. The 1990s and early 2000s were marked by a degree of capital instability due to repeated losses. A new format was introduced in September 2003, with the title moving ‘from a fortnightly format on glossy paper to a weekly format on newsprint’. After the change of format in September 2003, the business weekly changed ownership once again. Jacob Abbou sold 93% of the capital to a new structure called ‘Financière Nouvel Economiste’. This is 42% owned by Jacques Abergel (former head of Giraudy, Europe 1 and BFM), 13% by Henri Nijdam and 45% by Jean-Bernard Fetoux. These three individuals invested nearly 500,000 euros to buy the shares, the brand, take over part of the debt and inject fresh money. In 2005, an attempt to merge with Challenges magazine (part of the Le Nouvel Observateur group) failed. In 2016, Bruno Ledoux acquired a stake in the company, which was in difficulty at the time, alongside other entrepreneurs and professionals from the world of finance and the media, such as Michèle Cotta, Henri de Bodinat, Gonzagues de Blignières, Pierre Kosciusko-Morizet, Henri Nijdam, Jean-François Hénin
