"Sentiment among German businesses is jubilant," Ifo chief Clemens Fuest said in a statement. "Companies were significantly more satisfied with their current business situation this month. They also expect business to improve. Germany's economy is performing very strongly."
German Business Climate rose to 115.1
German business confidence unexpectedly rose in June to a record high, a survey showed on Monday, in a fresh sign that company executives are more upbeat about the growth outlook of Europe's largest economy. The Munich-based Ifo economic institute said its business climate index, based on a monthly survey of some 7,000 firms, rose to 115.1 from 114.6 in May. The reading compared with a Reuters consensus forecast for a value of 114.4.
