And we will pay incredible amounts for them. The Danish central bank is holding interest rates below that of the ECB due to how successful Ozempic and Wegovy are [1] [2]. It's expected to be a $100B market by 2035 (assuming "one and done" gene therpay doesn't fast takeoff [3]).

Just in case: The Danish Central Bank is reacting to the economic success of the drug maker which impacts the currency flows and thereby the currency peg they are managing. (Not some health benefits thing by the central bank).

America exporting the disorder of the US healthcare system and crashing currencies as we help companies become larger than their nation state GDPs. Kind of funny actually.
