According to the publication, the decision to resume work was made by the Swedish management of IKEA in May. Forbes Ukraine refers to four sources, including two top managers of shopping centers and two consultants on commercial real estate.

One of the main factors for the Swedish retailer was the successful resumption of operation of H&M and Inditex stores – Zara and Bershka.
