World Business Report

Available for over a year

Bloomsbury Group, the publishers of Harry Potter and the Winston Churchill archive, has been the unwitting victim of the trade war between the US and China. The group produces many of its illustrated titles in China so in September 2019 these books suddenly became 15% more expensive. Bloomsbury boss Nigel Newton has been talking to the 麻豆社's Philip Hampsheir about the impact of President Trump's tariffs on his company's profits and the success of digital.
