The Eurozone debt crisis is taking a toll on Big Pharma's European profits. A recent review in The New York Times says that the profits, and hence the share price, of 'Big Pharma' is set to remain stagnant in Europe until at least 2014. Budget cuts mean that many European governments are not willing to pay as much for pills, Stephanie Novak of the New York Times reports.
European pharmaceutical companies have been successful in emerging markets in the last five years, helping to offset troubles at home, Novak reports. Meanwhile, American companies do not rely as much on overseas revenue because of their large domestic market.
