Indian Retailer

For the 4th time in 5 years, AT Kearney rated India the most attractive destination for retail investment. India tops a list of 30 countries with a rating of 68, followed by Russia (60), China (56), UAE (56) and Saudi Arabia (56). The GDRI helps retailers prioritize their global development strategies by ranking the retail expansion attractiveness of emerging countries on a set of 25 variables including economic and political risks, retail market attractiveness and the difference between GDP growth and retail growth. In 2008, Vietnam toppled India to become the 'most attractive' retail market but tables changed as recession swept through continents.
