- Eli Lilly LLY.N will halve its originally planned investment of €2.3 billion ($2.67 billion) in Germany, CEO Dave Ricks told the Handelsblatt business daily.

Over a billion euros has already been invested in the production site for weight-loss injections in Alzey in the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate, the German business daily reported on Wednesday.

The high-tech plant is still scheduled to begin operations in 2027, albeit at reduced capacity, the report added.
