Highlights

Against the backdrop of a tough macroeconomic environment, intense competitive pressures and slowing growth in the mature markets of the EU, for years rapidly developing CEE has offered significant opportunities for the powerhouses of European retailing. Even in 2008 growth potential remains huge, attracting retailers and developers to the region.

Despite the long term potential CEE countries now faces their biggest challenge since joining the EU as they are impacted by the credit crunch. The situation is exacerbated by high inflationary pressures meaning that purchasing power in CEE is now under acute threat.

As the battle for market share has moved from organic store openings to acquisitions, new opportunities emerge, most notably in the burgeoning convenience sector. Meanwhile CEE´s largest retailers are increasingly expanding into neighbouring countries and fortifying their position as prominent retailers in the region rivalling foreign players.
