“A business newspaper should give the average citizen a sense of his or her centrality in economic progress rather than treat the economic arena as an exclusive preserve for a few extra-ordinary people.

It should make complex economic information easily accessible for every investor, worker and citizen. BusinessDay is working hard to attain this ideal..”
