Fundamental view

The index of business climate in Germany probably dropped to 110.9 in March, according to the median estimate by analysts, from a reading of 111.3 during the preceding month. It is based on a survey, encompassing almost 7 000 companies operating in manufacturing, construction, retail and wholesale trade.

The IFO gauge of business climate represents an average of the index of expectations and the index of current assessment. Both indexes are equally-weighted. Values above 100.0 are indicative of a greater number of positive forecasts. The more readings distance from this key level, the stronger the confidence of the entities surveyed is. A higher than projected reading will provide a boost to euros demand.

The IFO gauge of expectations, reflecting economic expectations of German companies during the upcoming six months, probably slowed down to 107.7 during March from 108.3 in the preceding month.

The IFO gauge of current assessment for Germany, reflecting economic conditions at present, probably improved to 114.6 in March from 114.4 in February. The Ifo Institute for Economic Research is expected to release the official figures at 9:00 GMT.
