Capital Times is an independent financial news publication covering markets, business and economies across Asia. We report on the region with a focus on three financial centers: Hong Kong, Singapore and Jakarta.

Our mission

Our job is to give readers a clear, accurate account of the money, companies and policies that move Asia's economies, so they can make their own decisions with better information. We favor primary sources, plain language and figures that readers can check for themselves.

What we cover

We cover markets, business, economies, technology, property, personal finance, and life and arts across Asia, from China, Japan and Korea to India, Indonesia and the rest of Southeast Asia.

Our World coverage follows the U.S., Europe and the Middle East as they affect Asia, from interest rate decisions and tariffs to oil supply and capital flows.

Our Opinion section carries editorials from The Editorial Board. Opinion is kept separate from our news reporting.

Who we serve

Capital Times is written for investors, professionals and readers who follow Asian markets, whether they manage money, run a business or plan their own finances.

Reading Capital Times is free, and so are reader accounts. With an account you can save articles and choose from our free newsletters.

How we work

Our articles are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools. Every draft then goes through a separate fact-check, also AI-assisted, against each source it cites, and a human editor reviews it before publication. Each article lists its sources at the bottom, with links, so you can check our work.

Our Editorial Standards explain that process in full. Our Ethics Policy sets the rules on conflicts of interest, and our Corrections Policy explains how we fix mistakes. You can see who publishes and funds Capital Times on our Ownership & Funding page, and who leads the newsroom on our Masthead.
