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.

India, Russia and China, the top three countries in last year's GRDI, fell to second, third and fourth, respectively, in the 2008 GRDI.
