Fast Market Research recommends "Czech Republic Food & Drink Report Q2 2015" from Business Monitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 02/06/2015 --The recovery in private consumption remains on track supported by a number of factors. Low inflation benefited real income and private consumption growth in 2014, and this will remain the case in 2015. Low levels of household indebtedness - the household debt to GDP ratio is one of the lowest among regional peers - will also underpin the rebound in private consumption. In addition, the labour market continues to show signs of sustainable recovery, as reflected in the steady drop in unemployment, accompanied by growing number of vacancies, suggesting unemployment has further to fall. Reflecting the rebound in private consumption, retail sales have accelerated in the last months of 2014.

Key Company Trends

AB Inbev Acquires Czech Brewery : AB Inbev bought a small Czech brewery in July 2014 aiming to bolster the company's claim to the use of the Budweiser brand while fighting a local contender. The company is in the process of taking over Pivovar Samson, based in Ceske Budejovice, known in German as Budweis; the place of origin of the world-famous Budweiser beer. The acquisition puts an end to an historical dispute dating back roughly a hundred years in many jurisdictions over the company's use of the Budweiser name in different markets in a context where it has no operations in the actual town. AB Inbev produces 400mn hectolitres of beer a year and uses the Budweiser brand in the US, as well as Asia and South America.
