In the Recovery Fund, investments amounting to 519.28 million euros in the pharmaceutical sector

The investment planning of the domestic pharmaceutical industry is in full progress, after the approval of 53 investments amounting to 519.28 million euros in the framework of the action “Reform of the clawback system & offsetting it with research and investment costs”, of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0”.

These 53 projects meet all the participation conditions and eligibility conditions, while 85% of them are implemented by Greek companies. The above projects are part of the Greek pharmaceutical industry’s dynamic plan for investments totaling 1.2 billion euros over four years.

These investments have a unique multiplier effect on the economy, through the creation of added value that stays and is reinvested in the country. In addition, through these investments, Greece’s trade deficit is reduced, as it ensures that needs are met by domestic pharmaceutical production, while at the same time employment is boosted with permanent, skilled and well-paid new jobs.

With the completion of the investment program, Greece will be able to emerge as a European “hub” of production, research and innovation, while the independence from imports of medicines from third countries, such as China and Asia, will be completed. At the same time, domestic production will be further strengthened and exports abroad will increase, thus contributing to the reduction of the trade deficit.

Commenting on the approval of the 53 investments within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0”, the president of the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Industry Association Mr. Theodoros Tryfon said: “The Greek pharmaceutical industry is actively participating in the effort to recover the national economy. With the help of the three co-authors ministries and in the context of offsetting the clawback with the sector’s productive investments, investments are implemented that have multiple benefits for society.In particular, they shield the health and pharmaceutical care system, ensuring the adequacy of the market and patient access to any necessary treatment, reducing the dependence on imports, while at the same time they will lead to the emergence of our country as a hub for research and production of medicines in the wider region of SE Europe”.
