Buletini Ekonomik

https://buletiniekonomik.com/

Buletini Ekonomik is a for-profit media outlet founded in 2018 in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. The organisation aims to publish in-depth stories on the economy, particularly business, finance, energy, and the environment. Its information includes investigations, analysis, and opinion. Buletini Ekonomik's team specialises in following the spending of public funds, and monitoring and investigating the abuse of public tenders procedures.

In 2021 its primary platform, the website, had approximately one million page views; the newsroom also shares content on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Buletini Ekonomik also sends a newsletter with up-to-date information, investigations, and analysis. It has more than 2,000 subscribers.

Its primary sources of revenue are grants from private donor organisations and advertising. According to CEO Agon Sinanaj, 2021 and 2022 have been financially difficult due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In that period, revenues decreased more than 20%, and he does not foresee any growth in 2023. On the contrary, he predicts a further decrease triggered by the high level of inflation.

Regardless, Buletini Ekonomik is the only digital media outlet covering the economy, so the organisation is working on a new strategy that could lead to financial stability and the expansion of its operations.
