Heineken revises growth forecast

July 18, 2007: Heineken has raised its profit forecast for the full year ending December 31 on the back of some good global figures.

The brewer is doing particularly well in the Asia Pacific area, Africa and central and Eastern Europe, which has made it adjust its organic net profit growth expectation to the range of 20 to 25%.

Its weakest performance has been in Western Europe, where poor weather has had a major effect.
