Vietnam slides from the first to the sixth position

Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam slides from the first to the sixth position in
the A.T. Kearney’s 2009 Global Retail Development Index which ranks 30
emerging markets in term of the investment attractiveness.

Vietnam falls six places due to declines in exports and the resulting
decline in GDP but the country’s long term outlook is still considered
positive.

India tops the list of the GRDI’s 2009 top five most attractive emerging
markets. It is followed by Russia , China , the United Arab Emirates and
Saudi Arabia .

The ranking is based on 25 variables across four primary categories: economic and
political risk, market attractiveness, market saturation, and time pressure
(difference or addition between gross domestic product and modern retail area
growth).

In 2008, the nation surpassed three giant global retailers India , Russia and
China to be the most attractive emerging market destination for retail
investment.-Enditem
