The Ifo Business Climate Index for German trade and industry rose for the third time in succession in January. Departing from the overall trend in Germany, climate indicators for the Eastern German Länder collectively and for Saxony fell significantly. A decisive factor in this decrease was feedback from survey participants, which revealed far less satisfaction with the current business situation than last month. On balance, firms in Saxony were also slightly more pessimistic about their business outlook.
