摘要

It has been a hectic year for drug companies. They did deals worth $230 billion in the first half of 2014, according to Dealogic, a research firm, up 65% from the same period last year. Another giant merger is in the offing: on July 14th Shire, headquartered in Ireland, said its board was looking favourably on a $54 billion bid from AbbVie, an American firm. The surge of drug mergers is notable for two reasons. The first is the popularity of "tax inversions". Buying Shire would let AbbVie be domiciled abroad-in this case it has chosen Britain, slashing its tax rate by almost half. This week America's treasury secretary, Jack Lew, urged Congress to pass a law ending this "abuse of our tax system". The second is the sheer scale of the industry's deal-making-the first half of 2014 was the busiest since Dealogic began keeping track in 1995.
