Análise do impacto na despesa pública com medicamentos decorrente da alteração do sistema de preços de referência

RESUMO - Com o presente trabalho pretende-se analisar o impacto na despesa pública com medicamentos decorrente da implementação do Decreto-Lei 48-A/2010, de 13 de Maio, e do Decreto-Lei 106-A/2010, de 1 de Outubro, nos anos de 2011 e 2012. Os referidos diplomas alteraram as regras de formação do preço de referência e terão contribuído para a redução da despesa do SNS com medicamentos verificada em 2011 e 2012. Crê-se que antes da implementação dos referidos diplomas, o mercado concorrencial de medicamentos genéricos não apresentava a competição necessária, não se verificando a aproximação dos preços praticados ao seu custo marginal, de acordo com o previsto na teoria económica clássica. Pretende-se identificar o mercado total dos grupos homogéneos e analisar 50% do seu valor, através da identificação do preço de referência efectivo do 1º trimestre de 2011 ao 4º trimestre de 2012 e do cálculo do preço de referência expectável, na ausência da implementação dos referidos diplomas, com base nas regras existentes antes da implementação dos referidos diplomas. A identificação o peso relativo da alteração das regras do sistema de preços de referência, na despesa do SNS com medicamentos ocorrida em 2011 e 2012, poderemos delinear com maior rigor futuras estratégicas de controlo da despesa pública com medicamentos. Um factor de especial relevância dado o contexto actual de austeridade.

Comparing exchange market pressure in West and Southern African countries

We compare the performance of Cape Verde and Mozambique concerning financial credibility as measured by Exchange Market Pressure, an institutional feature that has often been overlooked in the literature as a relevant institution for economies. Drawing on previous research by Macedo et al. (2009), we expand their analysis and, using several definitions of “financial credibility”, all related to different angles on Exchange Market Pressure indices, we conclude that - against reasonable benchmarks in their respective regions - financial credibility has been very good for Cape Verde and fairly good for Mozambique.
