Expectations Decline Considerably
The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment Stands at 56.1 Points
The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment for Germany dropped 23.1 points to a new reading of 56.1 points in October 2020.“The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment is still very clearly in positive territory. However, the great euphoria witnessed in August and September seems to have evaporated.
The recent sharp rise in the number of COVID-19 cases has increased uncertainty about future economic development, as has the prospect of the UK leaving the EU without a trade deal. The current situation in the run-up to the presidential election in the United States further fuels uncertainty,” comments ZEW President Professor Achim Wambach on the current expectations.
The financial market experts’ sentiment concerning the economic development of the eurozone also took a nosedive, dropping 21.6 points to a current level of 52.3 points. The indicator for the current economic situation in the eurozone, on the other hand, climbed 4.3 points to a level of minus 76.6 points.
