ZEW indikator: Tysk erhvervstillid falder igen tilbage

The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment for Germany remains unchanged in September 2016. The index stands at a level of 0.5 points (long-term average: 24.1 points). “The current ambiguity of economic impulses from Germany and abroad means that forecasts for the next few months are difficult. German exports, particularly to non-EU countries, as well as industrial production figures have disappointed. By contrast, the economic environment in the European Union is improving. Overall, the ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment suggests that the economic situation in Germany will remain favourable in the coming six months,” comments ZEW-President Professor Achim Wambach.
