Easing social restrictions a boon for brewers


KUALA LUMPUR: There could be some near-term upsides for brewers over the near-term as the resumption of operations for bars and pubs in the country will translate to higher levels of alcohol sales, says Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) research.

The easing social restrictions following the country's transition to the endemic phase of Covid-19 include normalising operating hours for eateries and pubs, the removal of the 50% capacity limit for indoor events and the reopening of international borders.
