At the beginning of February, the sentix economic indices are showing a silver lining for the eurozone economy. The sentix overall economic index rose for the third time in a row to +4.2 points – a substantial increase of six index points. Despite discussions about a gas shortage, the investors surveyed by sentix are also extremely confident about the German economy. Internationally, the Asian region remains the main driver of the current global upturn. Eastern Europe and Latin America are also keeping pace. The US, on the other hand, is relatively weak.
