Hanoi retail market retains lustre

The retail market in Hanoi is still attractive for investors, even though it has experienced business impediments during the past, a Hanoi Industry and Trade Department official said.

Last year was continuously marked by numerous fluctuations in the modern retail market nationwide, as well as in Hanoi, which encountered many challenges in business, said Tran Phuong Lan, Director of the Department.

Some trading centres in the city had to sell or temporarily stop their operations, including the Thai Berli Jucler Group buying Metro Vietnam, and the operations at Parkson Landmark 72 and Trang Tien Plaza being stopped for restructuring of retailers in the plaza, Lan stated.
