Germany December Ifo business climate index 86.4 vs 87.8 expected

  • Expectations 84.3 vs 85.9 expected
  • Prior 85.2; revised to 85.1

That's a bit of a disappointment as the Ifo reading reflects subdued business sentiment to wrap up the year in Germany. That continues to suggest that any imminent recovery remains a distance away for now as we get to the turn of the year. Higher price pressures and subdued demand conditions are still two problematic issues for the German economy currently.
