The Budapest Business Journal or BBJ is an English-language biweekly magazine published in Hungary. It is the largest, oldest and a leading publication in its category in the country.
The BBJ was launched in November 1992 as a weekly. The magazine, based in Budapest, was converted into biweekly later. It was founded by a US-owned company headed by Stephen A. O'Connor, a US media entrepreneur. Mike Stone was also its founder.
The publisher is Absolut Media Kft. It was originally published by New World Publishing which also published the Warsaw Business Journal in Poland and the Prague Business Journal in Czechoslovakia until January 2004.
As its title implies, the BBJ exclusively focuses on business news and related analysis, targeting business professionals. In addition, it provides detailed industry and company information. The magazine publishes rankings of Hungarian companies each year in a separate publication called The Book of Lists.
The BBJ was one of the independent publications and provided investigative reports in the late 1990s. In 2002 the BBJ had a circulation of 8,700 copies.
