Firms confident of future of China's economy

A1: This is Chiesi's second time joining the CIIE. Chiesi has been committed to its development in the China market and we see a clear need for the treatments and therapies that we offer. Our development in the Chinese market plays a hugely important role in our global five-year strategy.

A2: The Chinese economy is a key driver of global economic recovery, not just supporting domestic businesses to resume normal operations, but also constructively helping ease global supply chain challenges.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government has constantly been developing an economy of innovation and creation for the wellbeing of its people. This can also be witnessed among the enterprises and their products and services at the CIIE.

For Chiesi, it is strategically important to be part of the CIIE, and we share the same goal as China of improving people's wellbeing through innovation. This year is the 20th anniversary of our surfactant product in China, our flagship product for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome.

A3: I feel the Chinese market is increasingly accessible to multinationals, and companies like Chiesi are able to thrive in this market as long as we are committed to our local customers and to long-term development.

The Chinese market is also very innovation-oriented and fast-evolving, which drives us to constantly think over how to further mobilize our local and global resources and talent to lead our business ahead of demands.

A4: China is pursuing its economic and social development with a sustainable approach. The government has been improving its population policy and prioritizing the health of the population as a key agenda. Chiesi is very proud to be part of this journey and to contribute to the well-being of the Chinese people.

Moreover, Chiesi believes that high quality, innovative healthcare products and solutions will further underpin China's roadmap toward a healthier population, which is also of relevance to a booming consumer market for health-related consumption.

A5: We are confident in and committed to the growth of the China market.

And we have indeed received great support for our business development here.

As an example, since the incorporation of Chiesi in China, our headquarters is based in Changning district of Shanghai, and we have received constant support and trust from the local authorities, and it really feels like home here.

Our efforts in contributing to the healthcare sector development of China as a foreign investor are well-recognized, which gives Chiesi confidence in the continuous opening-up of the China market.
