German economic sentitment

You have admitted being wrong something BB would never do

I've had to sit down for 30 mins now to recover! Damn those pesky Germans.

Industry experts versus some gimp with an analytics tool. Hmmm.

I wonder what industry experts use, a Casio calculator?

[DodgyAgent]

Fair enough. I hadn't seen the latest figure. It had been behind for the previous 3 years. Based upon sentiment it will soon be back where it was.

Having spent much of my early working life in Austria and Germany I can tell you that a recession in those countries is like boom time in the UK.

The German economic sentiment index dived to minus 6.8, down from 19.2 in June and well below economists’ forecasts of a positive reading of 9. This month’s reading is the lowest level since November 2012.

Claus Vistesen at Pantheon Macroeconomics called the survey results “horrific”. He writes:



Oh Dear™

Never mind, UK seems to be racing ahead of the dead beat EU in economic terms.

That was DB'S assessment. Seems pretty accurate.

You cretins think the UK is going to outperform Germany?

The sooner they reach a trade agreement with the UK the better for them. And they need to bail out DB too.

DB's assessment pre-vote was that the EU zone as a whole was heading downwards later this year, but if we voted to leave we would outperform. So far so good.

Claus Vistesen at Pantheon Macroeconomics called the survey results “horrific”. He writes:

This is much worse than we expected, and points to downside risks to EZ economic survey data this week. The month-to-month fall in the expectations index is close to a record, only eclipsed by the collapse during the dark days in 2012, when investors were seriously contemplating that the Eurozone would break up.
