The pharmaceutical industry is bracing for potential disruption from President Trump’s drug pricing policies and tariffs, which could impact research and development investments. According to a recent report, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, and AbbVie have invested more in the US after decades of decline. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) argues that tariffs would harm American manufacturing and hinder the development of future treatments.
President Trump has threatened to impose up to 200% tariffs on pharmaceuticals, but suggested a delay of around one-and-a-half years for companies to adjust. However, the industry remains opposed to this proposal, citing concerns over increased costs and potential shortages.

Another timely one.
How do changes in trade frictions (like tariffs) affect inflation?

Key finding is that when the tariff hits intermediate goods (which is 40 percent of U.S. imports), inflation is more persistent.

Manufacturers, are you still reeling from the unexpected challenges of tariffs, even after navigating the pandemic?
You’re not alone.
While COVID-19 taught valuable operational lessons, tariffs present a fundamentally different challenge—economic barriers impacting cost
