Their goal is to rebuild their phase 3 portfolio with 15-20 phase 3 starts per year between 2008-2009. Pfizer expects 15-20 regulatory submissions between 2010-2012. Several investigational drugs, including axitinib and CP-690550, show promising results.
The document discusses natural product derived combinatorial libraries and their significance in drug discovery programs. It describes how combinatorial libraries are created through combinatorial synthesis techniques to generate large numbers of compounds that can be screened for biological activity. Libraries derived from natural products are particularly useful as natural products often have novel chemical structures not easily synthesized in labs. The document outlines methods for combinatorial synthesis, including solid phase and parallel synthesis techniques, and how libraries can be screened to identify potential drug candidates.

Shocks and Inequality An Empirical ExplorationGRAPE
?
We study the contribution of supply and demand shocks to income inequality in a panel setting. In particular, we exploit the newly created Global Repository of Income Dynamics to study how unanticipated supply and demand shocks identified using long-run restrictions affect income inequality as measured by Gini. We find that demand shocks originating in the United States, on average, increase income dispersion, which we interpret as the impact of changes to US consumption of foreign goods and services. Supply shocks also tend to increase income dispersion, but have a much weaker and short-lived impact. A comparison with responses to domestic shocks reveals that demand shocks exhibit a similar dynamic. Domestic supply shocks are linked to declines in income dispersion.

Adrien Matray is an applied macroeconomist whose research examines how finance shapes economic growth and economic inequality. Growing up in the less affluent suburbs of Paris, where economic disparities were stark, sparked his interest in understanding how financial systems affect well-being. His work addresses critical issues like income inequality and lack of access to formal financial institutions, aiming to inform policies that better regulate alternative financial services and promote equitable economic outcomes, especially for low-income communities.
Shivsrushti’s Cultural Revival Backed Strongly by Abhay Bhutada Foundation.pdfLokesh Agrawal
?
Shivsrushti, a cultural theme park near Pune dedicated to the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received strong and consistent support from the Abhay Bhutada Foundation.

Economic security of a logistics company: financial, marketing, and environme...Igor Britchenko
?
This paper explores the multifaceted nature of economic security for logistics companies by examining three interdependent dimensions: financial, marketing, and environmental. Each of these pillars contributes to the company’s stability, growth potential, and adaptability in a dynamic business environment. Financial management ensures resource optimization and risk mitigation; marketing strategies support revenue generation and brand differentiation; and environmental sustainability enhances operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. By analyzing these aspects, the authors provides recommendations for logistics companies to enhance resilience, profitability, and long-term sustainability in a rapidly evolving global market.
How Zenko Properties Streamlined Financial Operations and Scaled Efficiently ...Ratiobox Limited
?
Zenko Properties, a dynamic and fast-growing real estate agency based in the UK, faced mounting operational challenges as its portfolio and client base expanded. Managing financial workflows across multiple property types, client accounts, and compliance requirements had become increasingly complex. Manual bookkeeping, fragmented systems, and limited in-house financial oversight were slowing down growth and exposing the company to potential compliance risks.
Recognising the need for a scalable, technology-driven solution, Zenko Properties partnered with Ratiobox to transform its financial operations. This case study explores how Ratiobox enabled Zenko to achieve greater operational efficiency, compliance assurance, and real-time financial clarity — all without the burden of maintaining a full in-house finance team.
Through a tailored combination of outsourced accounting services, automated bookkeeping, and integrated reporting tools, Ratiobox provided Zenko Properties with an end-to-end financial management solution. Our team began by conducting a deep-dive assessment of Zenko’s legacy accounting practices, identifying critical inefficiencies and opportunities for automation. We then implemented a streamlined accounting framework using cloud-based platforms such as Xero, integrated with Zenko’s CRM and property management systems.
Key improvements included:
Automated transaction processing, eliminating manual errors and reducing month-end closing time by over 50%.
Real-time financial dashboards, giving directors clear visibility into cash flow, revenue streams, and liabilities.
Fully managed payroll and HMRC submissions, ensuring Zenko stayed compliant and up to date with the latest tax regulations.
Scalable support for property acquisitions, enabling the finance function to grow in lockstep with Zenko’s portfolio.
Beyond day-to-day accounting, Ratiobox also delivered strategic insights through periodic reporting and advisory input, helping Zenko's leadership make data-backed decisions on expansion, cost control, and investment timing.
As a result, Zenko Properties not only improved operational efficiency but also gained a future-proof financial infrastructure that supports long-term growth. With fewer internal resources tied up in routine tasks, the team was free to focus on delivering exceptional service to clients and exploring new market opportunities.

Key points:
? The highest uncertainty in the 3-month perspective was recorded among exporters, 20.7%
? The share of enterprises planning to scale down operations over a 2-year horizon rose to 5%, but 95% do not expect a decline or foresee growth
? Labor shortages remain the main obstacle — 63% of businesses noted this issue
? The second most common obstacles were safety risks and rising prices
? Power outages remain a relatively minor issue — only 7% mentioned it
Most key indicators of business sentiment remained stable in May. The Business Activity Recovery Index remained unchanged from April at 0.13. The aggregated indicator of industrial prospects, which reflects short-term expectations, slightly declined to 0.11 from 0.12 in March–April.
These are the findings of the 37th monthly survey conducted by the IER among 474 industrial enterprises.
Uncertainty in the three-month outlook remained unchanged primarily for key production indicators.
“However, we recorded the highest level of three-month uncertainty among exporters. Every fifth exporter — 20.7% — currently does not know what their export dynamics will be over the next 3–4 months,” said IER Executive Director Oksana Kuziakiv.
Uncertainty decreased over longer horizons — 6-month and 2-year periods. Currently, only 28.7% of respondents find it difficult to predict their activities two years in advance. This is the lowest share since at least October 2022, when 42.3% of businesses reported uncertainty.
“In May, the share of those planning to reduce their enterprise’s activity over two years increased to 5%. This is still a small number, though higher than April’s 1.4%. Nearly 80% don’t foresee major changes. In fact, 95% of respondents indicate that they will either remain unchanged or experience slight growth. Considering the instability, security, and economic challenges Ukraine faces, this is a very good result,” said Oksana Kuziakiv.
The share of enterprises that increased production in May fell from 26.2% to 19.5%, while the share of those that reduced output grew from 10% to 13.5%. The share of businesses planning to increase production in the next 3–4 months slightly declined, from 40.8% to 39.9%.
The total share of enterprises operating at full or near-full production capacity slightly increased in May, from 62% to 63%.
“In January this year, the share of those operating at over 75% of capacity rose significantly. Since then, it has remained relatively unchanged. For example, in May, 53% of companies were in this category,” noted Oksana Kuziakiv.
Expectations for new orders remain cautious: the share of companies with order portfolios longer than a year slightly decreased, from 16% to 15%. On average, the duration of new orders increased from 4.9 to 5 months.
“This happened because the share of those with orders for just one to two months declined from 33% to 24%. Likely, these orders were redistributed: some now work ‘on the fly,’ others shifted into the three-to-five month category,
