KYIV, Dec 11 – Activity of international and Ukrainian retailers has revived attention of developers to building retail real estate in all large cities of Ukraine, UTG consulting company (Kyiv) reported.

"The decline in consumer confidence in Europe, the rapid development of online commerce, the high level of competition in the clothing and footwear segment, the growth of staff salaries led to a decrease in profit margins and a pile of inventory at the largest European retailers, forced them to look for new markets, stimulated exit and the opening of stores in markets of countries not previously covered," Head of Strategic Consulting at UTG Kostiantyn Oliynyk said.
