Recognising malls and shopping centres as a new-age industry

Recognition of malls and shopping centres as an industry would grant access to more support and benefits from the government, such as lower interest rates, representation in decision making, and reduced tariffs for essential resources. This would address the challenges faced and support their growth and development, which would contribute to the national economy and promote socio-cultural development. 

This publication presents a survey-based analysis of the effects of the shopping centre industry on different stakeholders. It identifies several measures that can be implemented to enable their growth. We express our gratitude to all the industry participants who generously provided their valuable insights to help us produce this report.
