We are pleased to observe a growing interest to this event by Russian and international companies - investors, developers, consultants, retail businesses, which successfully work in this segment and promote its further development and prosperity. The international consulting company Knight Frank comes out as consultant and agent of high-class real estate in Russia and Ukraine. The representative offices in St. Petersburg and Kiev, where there observed a dynamic development of all segments of real estate market, considerably expanded the geography of our activity. The outstanding knowledge of the specific character of Russian and Ukrainian markets makes it possible to predict an optimistic scenario of development in the long-term outlook. Our confidence in the investment of commercial real estate in Russia and Ukraine today is well supported by western business- associations. The volume of foreign investments into this segment increases with each year. In Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities of Russia, and also in Ukraine there appeared a number of increasingly qualitative projects, which are of enormous interest not only for the Russian, but also for the western investors. We sincerely hope that the dynamic development of market will contribute to professional growth of all participants and establishment of successful commercial centers all over Russia and Ukraine.

Welcome to the exhibition of "MALL-2007". I would like to emphasize that this exhibition is a professional forum, because it is created by professionals and for the professionals of development, retail and consulting. It is pleasant to note that the numbers of its participants substantially increased in the years of conducting exhibition. As a permanent participant in the exhibition of "MALL", we know it attracts a huge interest in those who make the first steps in the business and in distinguished companies. This confirms that the exhibition is necessary. Indeed, at present this is a main space for exchange of information and ideas as well as expanding business connections and presentation of new projects. But the key issue is that this is powerful pulse for our general development. It's no secret to anyone, that markets for commercial real estate, including in the regions, are successfully growing. The exhibition of "MALL" is an opportunity to exchange of the experience between the capital and regional partners. We need to learn from each other! In conclusion, I would like to thank you all organizers of this exhibition for the given possibilities and express an appreciation to the Russian council of Shopping Centers. I wish my associates a fruitful work on the exhibition and great successes in your endeavors. Thanks!
