Inditex maintained its growth in Asia, with China now home to more than 50 stores following openings in cities such as Qingdao or Changchun. Meanwhile, Pull and Bear and Bershka stores opened their doors for the first time in Beijing and Hong Kong. Thus, the growth of the Asian Region remains as one of the key priorities at the core of Inditex’s expansion strategy.
