Founded in 1987 by Joseph D. Giarraputo, Global Finance Magazine was created to fill a gap in financial journalism by providing in-depth coverage of the international financial markets. Giarraputo, a veteran financial journalist, saw an opportunity to offer comprehensive analysis and insights on global financial trends that were not being adequately addressed by existing publications. Today, the magazine is still privately owned by Giarraputo and continues to operate under his leadership. Global Finance Magazine, headquartered in New York City, focuses primarily on international business and financial news. They cover topics such as corporate finance, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, currencies, banking, risk management, and emerging markets. While their main focus is on financial news, they also touch on related economic and political developments that impact the global financial landscape. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of Global Finance Magazine is its annual awards program, which recognizes excellence in various categories of global finance. These awards, including “World's Best Banks“ and “World's Safest Banks,“ have become highly respected benchmarks in the financial industry, often cited by winning institutions in their marketing materials and annual reports.
