X5 Retail Group plans to revise its property contracts

X5 Retail Group has started to revise property leases contracts for its stores. X5 Retail Group Director of Public Relations and Investor Relations Anna Kareva said: “All contracts are indexed one way or another, someone on inflation, someone in the percentage of revenue, part of contracts tied to the currency exchange rate.” The growth rate in the contract is unreasonable taking into consideration the current market situation. Kareva continued to say that the new contracts, depending on the rental price have fallen by 30-40%. This is particularly true of the new outlets. Developers have built and now they need an anchor tenant and are willing to agree to drop 30-40% of the pre-crisis levels, Kareva added.
