Tuesday, the Centre for European Economic Research or ZEW said its economic sentiment indicator for Germany rose to 57.7 points in September from 56.1 in August. Economist had forecast a reading of 60. This value is well above the indicator's historical average of 26.6 points.
The current development of the indicator shows that the financial experts' positive economic expectations have further stabilized, the ZEW said. The economic outlook for Germany mainly depends on the recovery of the world economy and better prospects for German exporters.
Furthermore, the financial experts are more optimistic about private consumption, although the prospects for the next six months are burdened by the end of the auto wrecking bonus and by an anticipated rise of unemployment, the think tank said.
"The economic expectations for Germany are consistent with the picture that the German economy is recovering, but at a slow pace. With regard to the national debt additional government stimulus packages are not appropriate," said ZEW President Wolfgang Franz.
The assessment of the current economic situation in Germany improved in September. The corresponding indicator rose by 3.2 points to minus 74 points.
The economic expectations for the Eurozone rose by 4.7 points to 59.6 points in September. The indicator for the current economic situation in the region improved by 4.2 points to minus 77.9 points.
