"We are pleased with the financial and operational progress we have made over
the first half of the year. Our domestic operations include many highlights,
especially the successful acquisition of Sanofi Bangladesh which expands our
core capabilities and product offering. In addition, we believe our launch of
world-first generic versions of molnupiravir and Paxlovid, as well as eighteen
further new products in Bangladesh, is testament to our continued commitment
to delivering essential treatments at an affordable price. While we have seen
a slight decline in export revenues due to COVID-19 headwinds, we expect this
to recover in the second half of the year and, thanks to the ongoing execution
of our strategy to deliver high-quality products and breakthrough therapies,
we are confident that we will maintain our strong growth trajectory for the
year."
