The Ottoman Tobacco Company, also known as the Régie Company for its French official name Société de la régie co-intéressée des tabacs de l'empire Ottoman, was a parastatal company or Regie formed in the later Ottoman Empire by the Ottoman Public Debt Administration, with backing from a consortium of European banks. The company had a monopoly over tobacco production, and its revenue was intended to help overcome the Ottoman state's persistent shortage of income. The Ottoman Tobacco Company constituted the largest foreign investment in the Ottoman Empire, and it attempted to introduce more efficient production methods – against local resistance.

| - The Ottoman Tobacco Company, also known as the Régie Company for its French official name Société de la régie co-intéressée des tabacs de l'empire Ottoman, was a parastatal company or Regie formed in the later Ottoman Empire by the Ottoman Public Debt Administration, with backing from a consortium of European banks. The company had a monopoly over tobacco production, and its revenue was intended to help overcome the Ottoman state's persistent shortage of income. The Ottoman Tobacco Company constituted the largest foreign investment in the Ottoman Empire, and it attempted to introduce more efficient production methods – against local resistance. In 1881, the state monopoly on salt was incorporated into the Régie Company, which passed revenue from salt taxes (tuz resmi) to the Public Debt Commission. As the state (or a parallel state controlled by the government's creditors) now effectively controlled salt production and salt prices, salt smuggling became a problem. In 1884, the Ottoman government instituted a tobacco monopoly and delegated it to a partly foreign company, the “Regie co-intr$éressée des tabacs de l’Empire ottoman”, which relies on a consortium of European banks and on the Imperial Ottoman Bank, also listed in London and Paris. Founded in 1863, the latter brought together French shareholders supplementing initial contributions of British funds in 1856. Both had offices in Paris, Place de la Bourse. Under the Republic of Turkey, the Ottoman Tobacco Company was nationalised in 1925 and became Tekel, which was sold to British American Tobacco in 2008. There are successor companies in other Ottoman successor states. To this day, the state-run tobacco monopolies in Lebanon and Syria are known as Régie. (en)

- La Société de Régie des Monopoles (denominazione intera in francese Société de la régie co-intéressée des tabacs de l'empire Ottoman) è stata una società parastatale costituita nel tardo Impero ottomano dall'amministrazione del debito pubblico ottomano, con il sostegno di un consorzio di banche europee. L'azienda aveva il monopolio della produzione di tabacco. Le entrate della Société de Régie avrebbero dovuto aiutare a superare la persistente carenza di entrate dello Stato ottomano. La Régie costituiva il più grande investimento straniero nell'Impero ottomano e ha tentato di introdurre metodi di produzione più efficienti, contro la resistenza locale. Nel 1881 il monopolio statale del sale fu incorporato nella Regie che trasferiva le entrate delle tasse sul sale (tuz resmi) alla Commissione del debito pubblico. Poiché lo Stato (o lo stato parallelo controllato dai creditori del governo) controllava allora efficacemente la produzione e i prezzi del sale, il contrabbando di sale divenne un problema. In Turchia, la Régie Company è stata nazionalizzata nel 1925 ed è diventata la Tekel, che è stata venduta alla British American Tobacco nel 2008. Ci sono società eredi in altri Stati successori ottomani. Fino ad oggi, il monopolio statale del tabacco in Libano è conosciuto come Regie. (it)
