Reuters today launched its new Arabic website, marking the company's third dedicated language platform in addition to English and Japanese. Reuters will provide Arabic speakers with comprehensive, trusted and non-national coverage of breaking news, politics, business and finance, sports, climate, human interest, technology, entertainment and more, with over 100 Arabic-language stories daily.
Reuters has more than 2,600 journalists in over 200 locations around the world, delivering fast, accurate and fact-based news, insight and analysis. Accessible from any location, the new website addresses the information needs of the fourth most spoken native language globally.
The launch is the latest in Reuters broader Middle East expansion strategy. Earlier this year, digital subscriptions for Reuters.com were introduced in the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait – with more in the region to come – as part of a phased global rollout. In October 2025, Reuters will bring its definitive live journalism summit, Reuters NEXT, to the Gulf region for the first time. Hosted in Abu Dhabi, the unmatched Reuters NEXT Gulf agenda is set to deliver insights from global and local leaders from business, government, NGOs, civil society, media, culture and academia across six core themes: Geopolitics, Economy & Markets, Banking & Finance, Technology & AI, Climate & Sustainability, and Leadership Through Change.
“Reuters first established its editorial presence in the Middle East in 1866,” said Josh London, Head of Reuters Professional. “Almost 160 years later, our commitment to providing professionals with the trusted reporting needed to make informed decisions continues to strengthen. The introduction of our new Arabic website marks the latest investment in the region, alongside the launch of Reuters NEXT Gulf and digital subscriptions, reflecting the strategic importance of the Gulf in Reuters consumer strategy.”
