Economic Outlook: Navigating a post-inflation world amid productivity challenges & learn about FCC and how they support the industry.

Over the past four years, the brewery sector has experienced significant economic fluctuations. While interest rates are finally declining, the outlook remains challenging as shifting consumer preferences and tightened budgets impact the industry. Productivity in Canada, particularly in the food and beverage sector, has been lagging, threatening the country’s competitive edge on the global stage.

What you will learn?

In this presentation, the Director, Economics & Deputy Chief Economist from FCC will explore the factors contributing to this productivity issue and propose actionable strategies to reverse the trend, ensuring a more resilient future for breweries in Canada.
