The chief executive of London-listed drugmaker AstraZeneca said on Thursday that discouraging tax policies in the UK led the company to shift plans for a $400 million investment in manufacturing from Britain to Ireland. "We wanted to make (it) in this country but we made it in Ireland because the tax rate was discouraging,” Soriot told a media briefing after the company released its fourth-quarter 2022 results.
European shares hit a nine-month high on Thursday as Germany's Siemens AG and British drugmaker AstraZeneca boosted earnings euphoria, and helped offset the risk-off sentiment after hawkish Federal Reserve speakers stressed the need for more rate hikes. The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.8% at 0920 GMT, extending gains for a third straight session.
AstraZeneca posted adjusted earnings of $1.38 per share on revenue of $12.2bn.
