Business sentiments in Germany unexpectedly soared to a two-year high during the month of September, as corporate organizations remain optimistic over the business outlook for the economy, despite a Brexit vote that seemed to have initially shattered confidence among investors and business personnel.
Germany’s business climate index rose to 109.5 from a revised 106.3. That’s the highest since May 2014. Economists predicted a figure of 106.3, data released by the Munich-based Ifo institute showed Monday. Also, gauges for current conditions rose to 114.7, and expectations increased to 104.5.
In addition, a composite measure of the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) published Friday dropped to a 16-month low, with the services sector almost stagnating. However, the recently released figures come post the Bundesbank having portrayed a gloomy outlook for the German economy, saying that the country is expected to show signs of stagnation in the third quarter.
