Konjunktur: Ifo-Geschäftsklima auf höchstem Stand seit über drei Jahren

Munich - Despite high energy prices, business sentiment in Germany improved in September, according to the Ifo Institute in Munich. The Ifo Business Climate index rose by 1.1 points to 89.9, marking the fifth consecutive monthly increase and the highest level in over three years. The main German economic barometer outperformed analysts' expectations, who had anticipated a rise to 89.0 points.

Ifo President Clemens Fuest commented on the result of the monthly survey of 9,000 companies, stating that "Germany's economy continues its recovery trend." The indicator was supported by rising expectations for future transactions and a more positive assessment of the current situation. However, the automobile industry continues to face difficulties, as reported.
