ZEW-indikatoren for den tyske økonomi har været faldende siden sommeren, og den seneste måling fra december viser meget dårlige udsigter for tysk økonomi, især for eksporten. Indikatoren blev på 29,9 point. Der kommer ikke den snarlige vækst, mange hidtil har forventet, skriver ZEW.
Outlook Worsens
The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment Stands at 29.9 Points
“The German economy is suffering noticeably from the latest developments in the COVID-19 pandemic. Persisting supply bottlenecks are weighing on production and retail trade. The decline in economic expectations shows that hopes for much stronger growth in the next six months are fading. Especially the earnings expectations of export-oriented and consumer-related industries are assessed more negatively,” comments ZEW President Professor Achim Wambach on current expectations.
The financial market experts’ sentiment concerning the economic development of the eurozone increased slightly by 0.9 points in December and currently stands at 26.8 points. The situation indicator fell to a new level of minus 2.3 points, dropping 13.9 points compared to November 2021.
Inflation expectations for the eurozone continued to decline very sharply in the current survey. The indicator currently stands at minus 33.3 points, which corresponds to a decrease of 19.0 points compared with the November result. 54.6 per cent of the experts expect the inflation rate to decline in the next six months.
