“Confidence is picking up. In June 2025, the ZEW indicator sees another tangible improvement. Recent growth in investment and consumer demand has been contributing factors. This development also seems to strengthen the assessment that the fiscal policy measures announced by the new German government can provide a boost to the economy. Combined with the recent interest rate cuts by the ECB, this could bring economic stagnation in Germany, which has lasted for almost three years, to an end,” said ZEW president professor Achim Wambach.
The sentiment concerning the economic development in the eurozone has also substantially improved in June: Increasing by 23.7 points, it is currently at plus 35.3 points and thus in the positive range. The assessment of the current economic situation in the monetary union has also improved. At minus 30.7 points it is currently plus 11.7 points above the reading of the previous month, ZEW said on its website.
