In brief: Zywiec ahead; OFEs investments; Totalizator wants to sell Sluzewiec
Brewery Grupa Zywiec remained the largest beer producer in 2000 with
output reaching nearly 7.5 million hectoliters (31.2% share of market).
Kompania Piwowarska, owner of Poznan and Tychy breweries, came in second
selling 7 million hectoliters (29.1% market share). The entire market
recorded a 6% rise in production compared with 1999. (Puls Biznesu, p.9)
.. According to a Rzeczpospolita analysis, open pension funds (OFE) tend
to invest in large, highly liquid shares. In 2000 OFEs' favorites included
oil producer PKN, telecoms giant TP SA, conglomerate Elektrim, and a
handful of banks and computer producers. At the end of 2000 OFEs put 33.6%
of their capital into domestic shares, or nearly zl.3.23 billion
altogether. (Rzeczpospolita, p.B5) ... Lottery Totalizator Sportowy, owner
of horse-racing circuit Tory Wyscigowe Sluzewiec, is looking to sell the
race track. As this move would break the lease agreement between the state
and Totalizator, the Sejm is unlikely to accept any such proposal.
