The Conference Board (TCB) Leading Economic Index (LEI) for Germany inched up by 0.1 per cent to 87.3 (2016=100) in October 2025, matching the slight gain recorded in September.
Despite these back-to-back upticks, the index showed no improvement over the six-month period from April to October 2025, continuing a pattern of flat growth seen in the previous six months from October 2024 to April 2025. The stagnation indicates persistent headwinds for forward-looking economic conditions.
The Coincident Economic Index (CEI)for Germany, which reflects current economic activity, held steady at 103.4 in October after a 0.2 per cent rise in September. However, the index slipped by 0.2 per cent over the six months to October 2025, reversing the modest 0.1 per cent gain observed between October 2024 and April 2025, TCB said in a release.
The decline points to weakening momentum in Germany’s present economic performance. Together, the latest readings highlight an economy struggling to build traction, with neither forward-looking nor current indicators showing meaningful progress.
