Editorial Supply

Cross-border Information provides editorial copy for other publishers' titles, in some cases carrying out all editorial functions, from basic reporting through to production.

Financial sector titles include providing all the editorial for periodicals such as International Trade Finance, for publisher Informa, and providing articles (often whole supplements) for publications such as the FT group's flagship financial magazine, The Banker .

CbI is responsible for compiling synopses and producing the editorial that goes into a number of prestige yearbooks produced by London-based publisher Newsdesk Communications.

These include the following:

• the UK Export Credits Guarantee Department's Global Exporter yearbook;

• the Berne Union - International Union of Credit and Investment Insurers;

• credit insurer Atradius' Global Credit Management series;

• the 2004 Sustainable Development yearbook for the World Bank Group's International Finance Corporation.

Other substantial books have been compiled on subjects as diverse as Trading with China and Azerbaijan; for the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank; and The Official Directory Of Southern African Film and Television, published for the Sithengi 2003 festival in Cape Town, South Africa. The list is not exhaustive.

CbI also provides country or company trade and investment studies for clients such as the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda magazine.
