Pfizer eyes Mideast acquisitions

  • Middle East: Monday, June 15 - 2009 at 11:03

Guy Lallemand, Pfizer's regional president for Africa & Middle East, has told Bloomberg that the region's respect for patents, openness toward clinical trials and rapid review of products has encouraged the US-based firm to consider making acquisitions in the more established markets such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf. 2009 Middle East sales are expected to be around $500 million and the company is forecasting between 8% and 10% annual growth, he said. Iraq, Iran and Syria are among markets where Pfizer is looking to expand its business, Lallemand added.
