The Chief Executive Officer’s point of view on the first six months of 2021

IGD’s Chief Executive Officer, Claudio Albertini, provides a strategic interpretation of the results achieved in a half still heavily impacted by the restrictions in place to prevent the spread of the virus. It’s clear that the shopping center format will continue to have a key role in the new consumption models. And that is not all: these results show also that the way in which IGD manages its portfolio is particularly effective.
