    This is the fifth annual set of competitiveness and performance indicators prepared and published jointly by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) and the Department of Health. It presents the latest data available in autumn 2005. The overall position for the UK shown by the indicators is that:
    • The number of graduate scientists already in the labour market in the UK is relatively high by international standards. Trends in the overall numbers of new science graduates in the UK may mask significant changes in some subject areas that may be more or less relevant to the pharmaceutical industry, and say nothing about quality.
    • The UK is about average relative to its comparator countries in terms of labour costs and business perceptions of labour market flexibility.
    • Corporate tax rates are unchanged in the UK and most comparator countries over the last year and although foreign direct investment into the UK economy continues to decline the same trend is seen in most comparator countries too. Venture capital invested in the pharmaceutical sector increased significantly in 2004.
    • Take up of new medicines in the UK continues to be slow by international standards
    • Generic penetration in the UK market is high by international standards.
    • The UK pharmaceutical industry remains among the most innovative, behind the US.
    • The industry's contribution to the UK economy continues to be large, including a positive trade balance of £3.7 billion in 2004, and a contribution to national income approaching £7 billion in 2002 (the most recent data available on gross value added).
