Investor confidence in Germany surged to a two-and-half year high in January amid hopes that the worst of the eurozone debt crisis might be over, a key survey released 22 January 2013 showed. The Mannheim-based ZEW economic research institute said its index gauging the mood among analysts and institutional investors jumped to a more-than-forecast 31.5 points this month from 6.9 points in December. Analysts had expected the forward-looking indicator to have climbed to 12 points in January. The gain represented the second-consecutive increase in the indicator. Based on a survey of 271 analysts, the indicator now stands at its highest level since May 2010. This also followed signs that the German economy will rebound in the coming months from last year's slowdown and that the threat of a breakup of the 17-member eurozone has diminished.

Le stime non lo prevedevano, influisce il rallentamento della crescita in Cina

Crolla inaspettatamente l’indice Zew tedesco. Le stime lo davano in calo a 57 punti, ma ad agosto l’indice che valuta il sentiment economico è sceso vertiginosamente a 40,4 dai 63,3 punti precedenti.

Il presidente dello ZEW Achim Wambach ha dichiarato che è la terza volta consecutiva che le aspettative diminuiscono e questo è indice di un aumento dei rischi per l’economia tedesca. Si teme la quarta ondata di Covid a partire dall’autunno e spaventa il rallentamento della crescita in Cina.
