    NEW YORK and LONDON, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow Jones today announced it has acquired WorldECR, an industry-leading provider of news, data and analysis on global export control and trade sanctions.

    WorldECR will operate as part of Dow Jones Risk & Compliance, enhancing Dow Jones's existing product portfolio with world-class editorial coverage and marquee events to help customers navigate the increasingly complex trade compliance landscape.

    "With the addition of WorldECR's authoritative journalism, we have made a significant step forward in our strategy to provide a comprehensive suite of news, data, analytics and peer-to-peer learning that risk professionals need to make strategic business decisions," said Almar Latour, CEO of Dow Jones. "Adding the valued content from WorldECR into the Dow Jones portfolio is the latest investment to ensure we offer the most comprehensive data and information in key areas that our customers seek out from us."

We look forward to working collaboratively with our new colleagues, sharing ideas--and extending our reach to new readers."
