Alemanha Sentimento Econômico ZEW

Germany’s ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment slipped to 38.5 in November 2025, down from October’s three-month high of 39.3 and below market expectations of 40, reflecting waning confidence in the government’s ability to implement effective economic policies. “The investment program should provide an economic stimulus, but structural problems persist,” said ZEW President Prof. Achim Wambach. The outlook is particularly weak for the chemical and metal industries, while the banking and insurance sectors also registered declines compared with last month. In contrast, private consumption saw a notable improvement, rising 13.3 points, and the electrical engineering, service, telecommunications, and IT sectors posted modest gains. Meanwhile, the current economic conditions index rose 1.3 points to -78.7 in November.
