India ousted from top spot on Global Retail Development Index

Vietnam has ended India's three-year reign as the most attractive emerging market destination for retail investment according to the seventh annual Global Retail Development Index™ (GRDI), a study of retail investment attractiveness among 30 emerging markets conducted by management consulting firm A.T.

Vietnam's leap from fourth in the 2007 GRDI to first place in 2008 was driven by strong GDP growth, changes to the country's regulatory structure favoring foreign investors, and increasing consumer demand for modern retail concepts. India, Russia and China, the top three countries in last year's GRDI, fell to second, third and fourth, respectively, in the 2008 GRDI.
