3. Recent developments

Through today, the situation of Tesco has not changed significantly. The company remains strong in both national as well as international markets and is even further consolidating its competitive position. In a context of an internationalized economic crisis in which most economic agents have registered tremendous loses, Tesco has ended fiscal year 2009 with growths in its income (the Tesco Plc.Website, 2010).
