Background

Aliqtisadi was founded by media and technology entrepreneur Abdulsalam Haykal, as the cornerstone of the publishing company, Haykal Media. The first edition appeared on 6 December 2004.

It started in 2004, originally as a Syrian newsmagazine published monthly in Damascus. It was the first private business magazine to be licensed in Syria, since all private media was nationalized by Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1958, during the short-lived Syrian-Egyptian union. The magazine started in December 2004, and now goes by the motto The magazine of every Syrian.

Aliqtisadi was published as Aliqtisad wal Naql until December 2007. In January 2008, the frequency changed to bi-weekly, and the name was changed to Aliqtisadi.
