Funnily enough, Spanish retailers worldwide have done rather well outside of their domestic market. Particularly Inditex (Zara). It seems you can’t walk 50 yards in London without seeing a Zara, a Mango, a Campers or a Desigual…
Inditex, which is now the world’s largest clothes retailer by value, last year opened 411 new stores globally – more than one a day – as net profits increased from €1.73bn to €1.93bn and net sales rose 10 per cent.
The reshuffling at the top of Spain’s corporate sector comes as companies have been scrambling to emphasise their international operations, predominantly in Latin America, as profits at home collapse.
Both Telefónica and Santander generate the bulk of their revenues away from Spain, with the latter reporting €7.5bn of revenues in Latin America in the first quarter compared with €1.67bn in Spain.[/quote]
