Navigating Trump’s tariffs for pharma
In this week’s episode of “The Top Line,” we dig into the latest round of tariffs unveiled by the Trump administration and how they could impact multiple areas of the life sciences industry. Fierce Pharma’s Fraiser Kansteiner sits down with KPMG’s life sciences sector leader Kristin Pothier, who discusses how the current tariffs could pose challenges, how drugmakers and other life sciences companies should respond and whether additional sector-specific duties are on the horizon.

The paralysis of trade war: ‘Almost every client I talk to has a war room,’ KPMG exec says, ‘and the members have completely dropped their day job’
The past six days of tumultuous tariff whipsawing are unprecedented in U.S. history. Business leaders desperately need to make significant responses to this environment, but how? The environment changes profoundly by the day. As KPMG’s U.S. supply chain leader Mary Rollman observes: “Almost every client I talk to has a war room. They get a team spun up, and the members have completely dropped their day job. Their job now is to watch the news and see what comes out next, and quickly be able to present to leadership.” However, most are not actually rearranging huge swaths of their business. By and large they are “working internally to model options and scenarios but not making major changes,” she says.

Consumer Price Index shows auto insurance prices declined 0.8% in March
Auto insurance prices declined 0.8% in March, according to the April 10 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index, a significant reversal of the month-over-month increases seen since last fall. Year-over-year car insurance rates rose 7.5%. While that’s still higher than the overall rate of inflation, it’s down from 11.1% in February, according to the BLS. “A crucial question remains: Will the trend towards moderation be sustained?” said Scott Shapiro, U.S. insurance sector leader at KPMG. “The uncertain landscape of tariffs is raising concerns about cost trends. After navigating supply chain disruptions from the pandemic, insurance companies must now figure out how to predict future costs in light of uncharted tariff policies.”

Swonk speaks with Kailey Leinz on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”

Bergen Record: Could Trump tariffs help these products made in NJ? It depends
New Jersey has been dubbed the “medicine chest of the world” because of its abundance of pharmaceutical companies, from start-ups to established giants. Trump previously floated the possibility of pharmaceutical tariffs in the “near future,” media reports said. However, last week Trump issued a tariff exemption for pharmaceuticals, said a fact sheet put out by the White House, though it’s not certain how long that could last. If the active ingredients used in medications have tariffs applied to them, then the prices of generic drugs would ultimately increase, said Jeff Stoll, a life sciences adviser at KPMG. "So the big question is ultimately where do the tariffs start or end," he said.

Trump's Trade War Could Force The Fed To Cut Rates. It Might Not Help Borrowers Much
Economists in Bankrate’s first-quarter Economic Indicator Survey raised their recession forecasts by the most since 2022 to 36%. J.P. Morgan Chase and KPMG put the odds of a downturn at 60%. Recession risks are rising because tariffs could weigh on consumer spending and increase businesses’ production costs, factors that might ultimately lead to higher unemployment. “If those disruptions are coupled with lower gas prices, that is not good,” says KPMG’s senior economist Yelena Maleyev. “A slowing economy means I’m not guaranteed the same income stream. It does not create an economic environment in which consumers feel they have more purchasing power or that they’re back to how they were feeling in 2019, before all this inflation happened.”
