This limited-edition beverage is designed specifically for Ramadan, with a unique flavor profile tailored to suit the festive period. Sprite Lemon Mint is poised to become a popular choice among consumers.
This initiative not only aims to enhance the festive mood of Ramadan but also to strengthen the bond with their consumers by being a part of their celebrations.
Acquisition Deal: Coca-Cola's Expansion

CCBB is one of two bottlers in Bangladesh that produces and distributes Coke brands. The acquisition is expected to enhance CCI's market position in the country.
CCI plans to finance the acquisition through existing resources, with minimal impact on its net leverage. Before finalization, the deal is subject to regulatory approval in Dhaka.
Strategic Partnership for Growth
