De Tijd (Dutch: [də ˈtɛit], The Times) is a Belgian newspaper that mainly focuses on business and economics. It is printed on salmon pink paper since May 2009, following the example of its colleagues Financial Times, Het Financieele Dagblad, FT Deutschland and many more.
Established under the name of De Financieel-Economische Tijd ("The Financial Economical Times") in 1968, in 2003 the paper was renamed as De Tijd.
De Tijd is owned by De Persgroep (50%) and Rossel (50%). The current editor-in-chief of De Tijd is Stephanie De Smedt. It is published in Dutch language.
De Tijd is a typical financial daily, covering economy and business, financial markets and national and international politics. The paper is the main information source for Belgian managers (CIM-survey 2009). It is published from Tuesday to Saturday with no Sunday or Monday edition. The weekend edition is enriched with two magazines: Netto, on personal finance, and Sabato on lifestyle.
In March 2012 the paper began to be published in Berliner format.
De Tijd was named as the Newspaper of the Year in the category of nationwide newspaper by the European Newspapers Congress in 2012.
De Tijd was established and financially supported by the Vlaams Economisch Verbond. In 2005, two major Belgian media conglomerates, the Flemish De Persgroep which is the owner of Het Laatste Nieuws and De Morgen among others and the Walloon Rossel which is the owner of Le Soir among others purchased Uitgeversbedrijf Tijd, the mother company of De Tijd and Editeco, the publishing company of L'Echo, the French counterpart. Both newspapers were integrated in the newly established Mediafin, in which De Persgroep and Rossel each hold a stake of 50 percent. Both newspapers stayed independent, but they work in the same building at the historical site of Tour & Taxis in Brussels since the merger. Frederik Delaplace is editorial director of Mediafin.
