Costa Rica registered healthy volume growth in alcoholic drinks in 2022. Part of the reason for the positive performance was increased socialising, as society fully opened up post pandemic lockdowns. The FIFA World Cup in December also contributed to the high levels of socialising, as did the return of foreign tourists. This healthy volume growth was in spite of high inflation, stemming from an energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine.
