T. Kearney's Global Retail Development <br />Index (GRDI)? Latin America has been notorious for many years <br />as having a poor track record for sustaining economic growth, <br />but things are different now. The area is blessed with commodi- <br />ties and natural resources that are in demand and a lot of the <br />political instability of the past is gone. It's really an economic <br />engine. The main goal of this session is to present and analyze <br />direct and indirect business and investment opportunities in this <br />region's retail industry. <br />MODERATOR: <br />Elliott Bross <br />CEO <br />Constructora Planigrupo <br />Mexico City, Mexico <br />14 RECOI'1 Program www.icscrecon.org <br />PANELISTS: <br />Alfredo Cohen <br />ICSC Trustee <br />Director <br />Constructora Sambil <br />Caracas, Venezuela <br />Jordan Malugen <br />Director <br />Prudential Real Estate Investors <br />Mexico City, Mexico <br />Michael Melson <br />Managing Director Latin America <br />Kimco Realty Corporation <br />San Antonio, TX <br />4:30 — 5:30 pm <br />• Latin America <br />d<ifSC <br />Matters 2 LATIN AMERICA MATTERS <br />Retailers Expansion Trends in Latin America <br />Latin America is nowadays one of the most attractive regions <br />in the world in terms of retail development opportunities.
