Six Flags stock rises after appointing John Reilly as new CEO
Investing.com -- The German Ifo Business Climate Index (BCI) fell slightly to 88.1 in November from 88.4 in October, performing worse than the consensus expectation of 88.5.
The decline was driven entirely by the expectations index, while the current conditions index showed a small improvement.
This latest drop in the German Ifo aligns with the recent decrease in the Composite PMI, suggesting that the German economy remains in a weak position. The fiscal stimulus measures implemented by the government do not yet appear to be having a significant impact on economic activity.
Germany’s economic growth is expected to reach only around 0.3% for the current year. While some improvement is anticipated for 2026, with forecasts projecting GDP expansion of 0.8%, this figure remains below the general consensus among economists.
The November Ifo results add to mounting evidence that Europe’s largest economy continues to face challenges despite government efforts to stimulate growth.
