FRANKFURT, June 9 (Reuters) – The Swiss pharmaceutical and diagnostics giant Roche (ROPC.S), opens new tab<\/a> said it is sticking to its \u200bplanned investments in Germany, unlike some of \u200cits competitors that have scaled back spending in the country.<\/p>\n

The company will continue its \u20ac600 million ($692.88 million) investment \u200bin a new diagnostic production site in \u200bPenzberg, Germany, Roche told Reuters.<\/p>\n

This comes after \u2060U.S.-based Eli Lilly (LLY.N), opens new tab<\/a> said it would halve its $2.3 billion \u200binvestment<\/a> in Germany and German drugmaker Boehringer Ingelheim scrapped \u200bits \u20ac900 million plans, both citing the government’s planned healthcare cost-cutting measures.<\/p>\n

Roche said it would also now have to \u200breview its future investments in Germany carefully.<\/p>\n

The \u200bdecision for Roche’s investment in Penzberg, its largest single one \u200cin \u2060Germany, was made several years ago, with construction expected to be completed by 2027.<\/p>\n

“The cabinet decision is creating a new degree of uncertainty \u200bregarding investments, research, \u200band \u2060production decisions in Germany,” Daniel Steiners, CEO of Roche Pharma AG, told \u200bReuters.<\/p>\n

He added that the government risked \u200bcausing significant \u2060economic damage with minimal benefit for a sustainable healthcare system, and said the parliamentary process now \u2060offered \u200ba final chance to \u200bkeep Germany on a reliable path.<\/p>\n
