Interfax Group launches Interfax-South project
The Interfax Group is launching the Interfax-South project. Under the project, a regional information agency, Interfax-South, will provide political and economic information from the Southern Federal District.
The agency's main office will be opened in Rostov-on-Don, and bureaus will be set up in all administrative centers of the southern republics and regions, including Krasnodar, Volgograd, Elista, Stavropol, Vladikavkaz and Nalchik. An Interfax-South bureau will work in Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic.
Interfax General Director Mikhail Komissar made the following remarks:
"A great deal is being written about military and political developments in southern Russia, but very little is being said about the economic potential of the region, or about possibilities that may attract potential investors. Interfax-South will provide its readers with the latest quality information about the situation on Russia's southern frontiers. Its reports about the economic development of the region may be of interest to potential investors."
"Interfax-South is a new step in the development of regional projects, which have become a priority aspect of the agency's work. The regional agency Interfax-Urals was established about a year ago, and preparations are underway for launching similar projects in other federal districts," said Komissar.
Interfax News Agency (www.interfax.ru), a member of the Interfax Information Services group, was founded in Moscow in 1989.
Interfax publishes political, economic, financial, and business information from Russia and foreign countries, and conducts in-depth research of market trends and the current situation in the oil and gas sector, metallurgical industry, fuel and energy complex, and other sectors of emerging market countries.
Interfax has earned a reputation on the world market as a leader in providing accurate and reliable political and business news and information services from emerging markets in Europe and Asia, and for this region.
Nearly 1,000 Interfax employees around the world produce more than 3,000 news articles each day. Interfax offers technological solutions and software for the financial market, including the distribution of data and market news.
Interfax clients include government offices, federal agencies, major corporations, investment funds, brokerage houses, and banks worldwide.
The Interfax-South project has already been supported by presidential envoy in the Southern Federal District Viktor Kazantsev, by regional leaders, including president of Kalmykia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, and by the managers of major enterprises in the Southern Federal District and other regions of Russia.
