Reuters is reporting that the Economist plans to close its Asia-based CFO magazine due to the current economic turmoil.

The Reuters story stated, “The decision to shut the English-language CFO Asia and Chinese-language CFO China, was announced internally last Friday, and would affect more than a dozen editorial jobs at the monthly publications targeting the region’s finance executives.

“It is not clear yet whether CFO Europe, a sister publication, will also be folded.

“The Economist Group’s Hong Kong office did not return calls seeking comment.”
