Dear Friends,
Due to some unexpected emergency, the Monthly Dinner on Retail & Distribution in West China - the Example of Carrefour as below will be postponed. The new time will be informed later. Sorry for the inconvenience brought to you.
In recent years, China retail industry continued to maintain a steady and rapid growth and the total retail sales of social consumer goods kept fast increasing. According to the statistics of Ministry of Commerce, the retail sales increased by 21.08% in West China in 2006 and the west region has become a major competing area for both domestic and foreign retail industry. Carrefour continues its expansion in inland China with 10 to 12 stores opening every year, and 1/3 will be located in central and west region. Besides Carrefour and Wal-Mart, Lotus from Thailand, Auchan from France and so on are also strengthening their strategic deployment in the West.
Mr. Arnaud Dupont, Regional Manager of Carrefour West Region, will join the Monthly Dinner of European Chamber on Nov. 13th and talk about the landscape of distribution service market in West China and Carrefour retail & distribution management.
