As a reminder, the public brewer Sabc was the first to take the step on March 1st. The companies explained the measure follows a tax pressure that has become “excessive”. Indeed, the 2019 Finance Act provides for an increase in excise duties on alcoholic beers, up to 5.5%.
To prevent tensions that can rise from this measure, the Ministry of Commerce is calling the Brewery Distributors' Unions, Consumer Rights Associations and CAPA (Cameroon Alcohol Producers Association) for a meeting tomorrow March 6. This is to discuss the inflation in beer prices.
