sentix Economic News
The new September data from the sentix economic index dashes hopes of an economic recovery. The overall value for the eurozone slipped by 5.5 points to -9.2. Both the current situation and future expectations are dete-riorating noticeably. This means that economic concerns are returning in full force. In Germany in particular, the downward trend is intensifying once again. The overall index lost 9.4 points and fell to -22.1 points there. There can therefore be no talk of a sustained improvement in sentiment in the largest economy in the eurozone. There are now also clear signs of a slowdown in the USA. Expectations have fallen to -10.8 points, while the current sit-uation is also showing signs of erosion at -0.3 points. The Asia region, including Japan, is currently proving to be a stabilising factor in the global picture. The data here remains comparatively robust and is making a decisive con-tribution to maintaining the pace of global economic growth for the time being.
