IMF expects Denmark 's economic growth to moderate to 2.9% this year and to 1.8% in 2026 .

IMF: Denmark 's growth was driven by an "exceptional surge" in pharmaceutical exports.

But the looming threat of U.S. tariffs on the pharma industry won't be much of a factor on that moderation, IMF says.

The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) represents major European pharmaceutical companies.

The EFPIA said 100 billion euros ( $112 billion ) worth of capital expenditure and research and development investments were at risk as a result.

The U.S. now leads Europe on every investor metric from availability of capital, intellectual property, speed of approval to rewards for innovation.
