(Reuters) - Wal-Mart de Mexico , the country's biggest retailer, will invest 12.4 billion pesos ($809.45 million) this year in maintenance and expansion of its sales floor, its chief finance officer, Rafael Matute, said on Wednesday.
He said that Walmex - which has suffered in the past two years from a slump in Mexico's economy, forcing it to sell assets and focus on its supermarket business - would expand its sales floor area by 2.4 percent this year.
Last month, the retailer reported a 40 percent rise in fourth-quarter profit.
