In 2014, BMI (Business Monitor International) Research was acquired by Fitch Group. BMI Research is now Fitch Solutions. As a result, the title of the reports may begin with BMI or Fitch Solutions.

- ProQuest One Business: select Publications > search for Fitch Solutions > select one of the hyperlinked titles > search for keyword(s) or browse by date to find desired reports [NOTE: Use one of the following links for direct access to the reports: Fitch Solutions Country Industry Reports | Fitch Solutions Industry Insight Reports | Fitch Solutions Risk Reports]
- Nexis Uni: go to the Menu drop-down list (top left) and select All Sources > in the Search Within Sources box (left side) enter BMI and click search button (magnifying glass) > select a BMI title in the results list [NOTE: Use the link above for direct access to BMI reports via Nexis Uni]
