Focus Money is a German-language business magazine from Focus Magazin Verlag, which belongs to Hubert Burda Media .

history

Focus Money was launched in 2000 as an offshoot of the news magazine Focus . From the start, the paper contained both stock market-related financial and general economic topics. According to a study, Focus Money expanded the spectrum of the Focus in terms of both readership and advertising customers without harming the news magazine. Regardless of the bursting of the dot-com bubble , Focus Money was able to firmly establish itself in the market in the following years.

criticism

Focus Money ran the school project We explain the economy in cooperation with the New Social Market Economy initiative . As part of this, teaching materials were made available to teachers and schools. The NDR media magazine Zapp criticized this in October 2011 as an example of the one-sided and non-transparent influencing of teachers and schools by companies and lobby groups . Focus Money awards numerous quality seals under the Deutschlandtest brand . Critics imply economic goals in generating many categories and many test winners. Lawyers see suspicion of consumer deception. In 2019, the Press Council reprimanded Focus Money for opening its cover with an alleged sentence by Alan Greenspan , which the former central bank governor neither literally nor analogously said.
