Financial Position

 

Extremely Sound

 

 

Future Outlook

 

Company’s profitability as internal efficiency improvements alone cannot counter the impact of continuous high inflation. Company therefore strongly urges the government to arrive at a mechanism whereby price increase in registered products is allowed in line with inflationary trends in Pakistan. Further, an appropriate and consistent mechanism for determining the prices of new products also needs to be implemented by the government. It is also hoped that the government would effectively implement the recent directive of the Supreme Court to stop the unlicensed sale of drugs.
