DIA informs that, on the date hereof, the Company has entered into an agreement with Nanjing Suning.Com Supermarket LTD, company part of the Chinese group Suning, in relation to the sale of 100% of the shares of the Chinese entities Shanghai Dia Retail CO., Ltd and DIA (Shanghai) Management Consulting Services CO. Ltd, transaction which, once completed, will imply the exit from the Chinese market by the DIA group.  

In 2017, the DIA Group posted gross sales under banner of EUR10.3bn, up 1.5% in local currency versus 2016. The 10.8% sales growth in emerging countries was offset by a 3.3% fall in Iberia, where in the last quarter of the year the company generated positive comparable sales thanks to its price-cutting policy.

DIA Group and Casino have appointed Florencia Nyer Daloglio as Director of CD Supply Innovation S.L., who will be responsible for the management of some financial and logistic services, such as payment and supply services. Until today, she was the Commercial and Marketing Director for Strategic Partners.
