The Hong Kong Economic Journal (HKEJ, Chinese: 信報財經新聞). is a Chinese language daily newspaper published in Hong Kong by the Shun Po Co., Ltd. Available in both Hong Kong and Macau, the newspaper mainly focuses on economic news and other related, usually political issues. The newsjournal is also available to some air passengers – those travelling to the United States, Canada, and Europe. It is authorised by the Hong Kong government to publish announcements related to some law issues.
The Hong Kong Economic Journal was founded by Lam Shan-muk (), commonly known by his pen name 林行止 (Lam Hang Chi), who first worked as a data collector for Hong Kong Ming Pao during the 1960s and later as an assistant editor for the evening version of Ming Pao—and Law Chi-Ping (Chinese: 羅治平; pinyin: Luó ZhìPíng) – who withdrew his shares later. Together they saw the possibility of developing an economic journal for the Hong Kong public in the early 1970s (although some sources have suggested that it was Lok Yau-Mui (駱友梅), his wife, and not Law Chi-Ping who was the true co-founder) and the newspaper was first published on 3 July 1973.
Shortly after the publication of newspaper, the Hong Kong stock market experienced the first significant historical fall as a result of the 1973 oil crisis. Nonetheless, the Hong Kong economy had recovered by 1976 and the newspaper eventually became one of the most influential newspapers in the Chinese media world.
In Sep 2006, a new shareholder (Clermont Media Limited, a BVI company) acquired the majority shareholding of the company. Today, Chief Editor of the newspaper is Alice Kwok Yim-Ming 郭艷明.
In July 2008, HKEJ launched its official website [www.hkej.com] which contains the daily newspaper content, instant news, real time stock quotes and different kinds of financial data and information.
In February 2011, HKEJ launched its English website, EJ Insight.
