In November, China approved the first rare disease therapy from AstraZeneca, bringing innovative treatment options to paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome, two diseases related to kidney and blood vessel malfunctions in adults and children.
11月，中国批准了阿斯利康的首个罕见病疗法，为阵发性夜间血红蛋白尿和非典型溶血性尿毒症综合征这两种与成人和儿童肾脏和血管功能紊乱有关的疾病带来了创新的治疗选择。
""The Chinese market is very atypical," Pilotti said.
But compared with the traditional cyclical recovery, as we see, the latest round of recovery features atypical characteristics amid the ongoing impact of COVID-19.
As for the root cause of such an atypical recovery, we think the answer may be in the abnormal shocks to the economy — first the COVID-19, then the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, followed by scorching summer temperatures in China and resulting drought conditions.
The primary impact of such atypical shocks is overall downward pressure on the economy.
The second impact of atypical shocks is in supply elasticity.
Under atypical shocks, the effects of physical constraints like the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and climate change may exceed the regulatory capacity of market mechanisms, and even if prices rise, supply increases more slowly than during normal economic cycles.
Furthermore, with noneconomic factors affecting the economy more, the operation of the economy — instead of seeing most impact from traditional macro policies such as those of a fiscal and monetary nature — will also see impact from more regulatory measures concerning atypical shock factors.
As we see, the general direction of policy in the future should be to further optimize COVID-19 prevention policies, enhance the role of finance and shift more focus to directly stimulating consumption to cope with the structural impact of atypical shocks.
The answer lies in the atypical shocks mentioned above.
And since COVID-19 is one of the factors leading to atypical shocks, a continuously enhanced prevention system will help iron out problems in the industrial chain, reduce uncertainty of expectations, boost confidence, promote both supply and demand, and strengthen overall economic recovery.
As mentioned above, atypical shocks inhibit the efficiency of these policies to stimulate demand.
"This totally historical and atypical time has allowed us to reinvent ourselves and to learn more," Hernandez said.
