PERU - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Peru's economy reflects its varied geography - an arid lowland coastal region, the central high sierra of the Andes, the dense forest of the Amazon, with tropical lands bordering Colombia and Brazil. A wide range of important mineral resources are found in the mountainous and coastal areas, and Peru's coastal waters provide excellent fishing grounds. The Peruvian economy has been growing by an average of 6.4% per year since 2002 with a stable/slightly appreciating exchange rate and low inflation, which in 2013 is expected to be below the upper limit of the Central Bank target range of 1 to 3%. Growth has been in the 6-9% range for the last three years, due partly to a leap in private investment, especially in the extractive sector, which accounts for more than 60% of Peru's total exports. Despite Peru's strong macroeconomic performance, dependence on minerals and metals exports and imported foodstuffs subjects the economy to fluctuations in world prices. Poor infrastructure hinders the spread of growth to Peru's non-coastal areas. Peru's rapid expansion coupled with cash transfers and other programs have helped to reduce the national poverty rate by 23 percentage points since 2002, but inequality persists and continues to pose a challenge for the new Ollanta HUMALA administration, which has championed a policy of social inclusion and a more equitable distribution of income. Peru's free trade policy has continued under the HUMALA administration; since 2006, Peru has signed trade deals with the US, Canada, Singapore, China, Korea, Mexico, Japan, the European Free Trade Association, Chile, and four other countries; concluded negotiations with Venezuela, Costa Rica, and Guatemala; and begun trade talks with two other Central American countries and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Peru also has signed a trade pact with Chile, Colombia, and Mexico called the Pacific Alliance that rivals Mercosur in combined population, GDP, and trade. The US-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement entered into force 1 February 2009, opening the way to greater trade and investment between the two economies. Although Peru has continued to attract foreign investment, political activism and protests are hampering development of some projects related to natural resource extraction.

BUSINESS HISTORY

It was formed on 09.10.1956 under the name REPRESENTACIONES FARMACEUTICAS S.A., and later, in June 1998, it adopted the current name REFASA S.A.C., before Anibal Corvetto, Notary Public.
 
It was founded by Raul Portugal Valdivia, who died recently on 21/07/2011, who was the founder of all the group companies.
 
This Company was established as an importer of medicines, representing initially important Japanese and European laboratories.
Over the years and due to changes in industrial legislation, it was forced to acquire an industrial plant to manufacture products that were imported. For that reason, in 1968, it acquired Laboratorios D.A. Carrión S.A., which is a national laboratory where several pharmaceuticals sold by Refasa S.A.C. are produced today.
 
Its production plant, Laboratorios D.A. Carrión S.A.C., currently has International Certifications ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 1400:2004
 
REAFASA has a stake in LABORATORIOS DANIEL A. CARRION S.A.C. and has invested for S/.5,475,000.= Nuevos Soles.

Eurofarma buys Refasa
 
The Brazilian lab Eurofarma continues to expand in Latin America.
 
After acquiring the laboratory Quesada in Argentina, now it was Peru's turn, where it is landing through Refasa buying.
 
This was made by a payment that was around US$ 25 million, according to Pharmabiz, which publishes this exclusive scoop.
 
Eurofarma has advanced aggressively by the continent. It arrived in Colombia in May 2012 through the purchase of a plant to U.S. lab Merck.
 
Also installed in Chile in December 2010 as a partner of Farmaindustria and Volta.
 
While in Uruguay acquired 90% of the laboratory Gaultier, later completed 100%.
 
Speaking to the magazine "América Economía" the Eurofarma export director, Wesley Pontes said "In Latin America there are a large number of family businesses with succession issues and would be good acquisition opportunities."
 
This strategy used for dealing with the Argentine lab Quesada in 2009. In this country is raising its own plant that will be finished between this year and the next.
 
According to market audits, Refasa ranks 20th in Peru and with revenues of about U.S. $ 12 million a year
