Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/29/2014 -- BMI View: Political instability caused by the collapse of the coalition government and the resignation by the prime minister has increased the risk of a slowdown in GDP growth and a likely loss of momentum in structural reforms. Therefore, the burden of healthcare cuts, under pressure from the EU and IMF, will fall on the pharmaceutical industry. Although public healthcare funding had managed to eliminate its deficit in 2013, undertaking healthcare reform has proved to be politically difficult: two health ministers have resigned since November 2013. As a result, we continue to believe pharmaceutical and healthcare spending will continue to decline this year and the next, before showing modest growth in 2016.
