The FT’s Year in Review 2022

During periods of political and economic uncertainty, businesses look to the FT for up-to-date market information. Subscribers have relied on FT journalists for insightful reporting and deep analysis on the year’s biggest stories.

In uncertain times, readers look to the FT for insight and accuracy. FT journalists have reported the war in Ukraine thoroughly and expertly, with coverage including engaging visual analysis, and the detailed invasion map.

As the global economic downturn and market turbulence has gathered pace, analysis from FT commentators and newsletters such as Unhedged, has been the best guide to the unfolding risks and impact.

Tensions with the US over Taiwan, the economic damage caused by a zero-Covid stance, as well as a property meltdown have all been reported on robustly by FT journalists. The FT is the go-to for readers wanting a better understanding of China’s policy challenges.

The digital asset industry continues to shake up mainstream finance. Thoughtful coverage on FT.com of cryptofinance-related tech, financing, corporate acquisitions, as well as regulation provides the clarity that investors and businesses need.

Executives, policy makers and financiers can no longer afford to ignore the fast-growing sustainability movement. The FT has stirred heated debate in this area, and also brought the climate change challenge to life for readers in innovative new formats.

The FT is home to over 700 journalists across 50 countries. The reputation of the FT for integrity and accurate reporting means it has unique access to stories and sources, often resulting in the FT being first to surface scoops and exclusive content.

Here are a few of FT's top-read scoops from 2022:

• Archegos quietly built stake in Deutsche Bank
