Word from the author:

Apart from decline in consumer spending clothing and footwear retailers were hit by significant cost increase due to the weakening of local currencies. This resulted in increases in shopping centres rent costs, which are calculated in Euros, as well as in more expensive imports of goods from Asia. On the other hand economic crisis resulted in fall of rents as shopping centre operators were obliged to cut rents substantially to be able to fill space after some retailers were forced to close their stores. As a result clothing and footwear brands are now able to settle in good locations at more affordable prices.
