What is it about:
The Global Retail Development Index is an annual study that ranks the top 30 developing countries for retail expansion worldwide. The Index analyses 25 macroeconomic and retailspecific variables to help retailers devise successful global strategies and to identify emerging market investment opportunities. The GRDI is unique because it identifies today's most successful markets and those that offer the most potential for the future.

Some Important Facts In The 2012 Results:

The developing markets of the BRIC countries still offer a huge growth potential for retail investments but some smaller markets are coming up especially, in the luxury segments. Brazil is the top country in the GRDI for the second straight year, leading the way for Latin America, which has 7 countries among the top 30. Chile is second once again, and Uruguay is fourth.

 China climbs to third place in the GRDI, as double-digit sales growth is expected. However, rents and labor costs are rising, so the market still has many challenges. Some of the smaller countries with attractive retail markets include Georgia, Oman, and Mongolia, all of which were unranked in the 2011 GRDI but are in the top 10 this year. With retail talent a critical differentiator in developing markets, finding and retaining talented workers is a core component to success. The Retail Talent Index, reintroduced this year, is led by Malaysia, whose lowcost labor and favorable regulations, and a welleducated population support the operations of international retailers that enter and expand in the market.
