De Tijd (English: The Times), formerly De Financieel-Economische Tijd (The Financial Economical Times), is a Belgian broadsheet newspaper that mainly focuses on business and economics.

Contents
De Tijd is a typical financial daily, covering economy and business, financial markets and national and international politics. It is the main information source for Belgian managers (CIM-survey 2007). It is published from Tuesday to Saturday with no Sunday or Monday edition.
Circulation
According to the Centrum voor Informatie over de Media, (CIM)[1] De Tijd has witnessed a decline in sales in the beginning of this decade. In 2000, the weekday circulation was 67,000. Through 2006, De Tijd had an average weekday circulation of almost 50,000 issues. De Tijd has an average market share of 6,4% in Flanders. In 2006 De Tijd tested an electronic paper version to subscribers. This was the first such application of electronic ink to newspaper publishing, but the project has been abandoned one year later. The website of De Tijd reached 85.000 unique visitors a day, at the end of 2007.

Mediafin
In 2005, two major Belgian media conglomerates, the Flemish De Persgroep (a.o. Het Laatste Nieuws and De Morgen) and the Walloon Rossel (a.o. Le Soir) purchased Uitgeversbedrijf Tijd, the mother company of De Tijd and Editeco, the publishing company of L'Echo, the French counterpart. Both newspapers were integrated in the newly established Mediafin, in which De Persgroep and Rossel each hold a stake of 50 percent. Both newspapers stayed independent, but they work from the same building at the historical site of Tour & Taxis in Brussels since.
