Describing the company’s performance for the year, it said: “This year’s favourable economic scenario, especially in terms of the upward mobility of a good portion of Brazil’s consumer market had a direct impact on the group’s performance by fuelling the consumption of higher value-added products.”

During 2011, the company plans to integrate the Eletro business, while capturing synergies from the integration of electronics chains Ponto Frio and Casas Bahia, and the continuing expansion of GPA Food.
