ifo Business Climate Index Falls
Strong sentiment among German businesses weakened slightly this month. The ifo Business Climate Index fell to 114.7 points in March from 115.4 points in February. Companies were slightly less satisfied with their current business situation, which nevertheless remained at a high level. They were also less optimistic about the months ahead. The threat of protectionism is dampening the mood in the German economy.
