Deutschland ZEW-Konjunkturerwartungen

The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment for Germany jumped to 51.6 in March 2025, the highest level since February 2022, compared to 26 in the previous month and forecasts of 48.1. The assessment of the current economic situation edged up slightly to -87.6 from -88.5."Positive signals surrounding Germany’s fiscal policy, including the agreement on a multibillion-euro financial package for the federal budget, have likely contributed to improving market sentiment. Notably, the outlook for metal, machinery, and steel production is showing signs of recovery. Additionally, the ECB’s sixth consecutive interest rate cut is further enhancing financing conditions for both households and businesses," commented ZEW President Prof. Achim Wambach.
