As part of our strategy, IRSA intends to increase our properties portfolio through strategic acquisitions at favorable prices, where IRSA believe it can bring the necessary expertise to enhance property values.

IRSA’s business is mainly driven by consumer spending since a portion of the revenue from its Shopping Mall segment derives directly from the sales of our tenants, whose revenue relies on the sales to consumers. As a result, IRSA’s revenues and net income are impacted to a significant
