“Bringing Forbes to Latvia during such a challenging time is a great honor to us and a huge responsibility for SK Group,” said Arkadijs Steimans, publishing director of SK Media Latvia, in a statement. “We are sure that Forbes will be the leading business magazine in Latvia and the driving force behind recovery of the economy.”

Forbes also has deals to publish editions in China, Croatia, India, Israel, Korea, Poland, Romania, Russia and Turkey.
