The Coca-Cola beverage company is set to launch its own brand of alcopop drinks in Japan. It will be the first alcoholic drink produced by the company in its 125-year history.

Global drinks giant Coca-Cola is planning to buy MB Impex, a beverage producer from the Banja Luka, capital of the mainly Serbian entity in Bosnia, Republika Srpska.

The Greek stock market's banks index slumped to its lowest point in a year on Monday, sliding 4.19 percent on prolonged uncertainty regarding the launch of foreclosures, the handling of bad-loan portfolios and the possibility of yet another recapitalization.

The news reinforced market concerns that, one way or another, local banks will need a fresh cash injection.

Venezuela, hit by economic devastation and political turmoil, is one of the most troubled countries today.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has launched the opening of a Coca-Cola factory in the western province of Isparta. 

But "Coca-Cola" was insistently and sedulously not given a place in any official statement from the presidency, media or the social media accounts of the government. 

Instead, "Fruit Juice" was brought to the fore. 

But why is that? 

The Anadolu Group opened two new production facilities in the southern province of Isparta on Aug. 12. 

One of the factories will make production for Coca-Cola İçecek, a majority stake of which is owned by the Anadolu Group. The second facility is owned by Anadolu Etap, the group's fruit company, with its Brazilian partner Cutrale and Turkey's Özgörkey Holding.

The plant is expected to be fully operational in the second quarter of 2017, according to the statement.
