Consumers in Germany see the domestic economy continuing on a very good path. Evidence of this is provided by the new increases in income expectation and propensity to buy. It has been possible for both to again improve in their high levels. Economic expectation, on the other hand, has suffered a setback. Yet its current level still suggests that consumers nevertheless see the German economy continuing on a course for growth.
German Consumer Confidence rose to 10.9 for September
The mood among consumers in August shows a positive but non-uniform pattern. Both income expectation and propensity to buy have been able to improve their already outstanding levels, while economic expectation was less impressive after five increases in a row. GfK forecasts an increase in consumer climate for September of 0.1 points in comparison to the previous month to 10.9 points.
