In March 2024, German companies saw a notable improvement in their sentiment, as reflected by the rise of the ifo Business Climate Index to 87.8 points, up from 85.7 in February. The ifo Institute highlighted that this positive shift was driven by both an improved assessment of the current business situation and a significant decrease in pessimism regarding future expectations. This dual enhancement indicates a cautious yet growing optimism among German businesses.

In the manufacturing sector, the change was particularly striking. Companies reported a marked increase in satisfaction with their current operations, alongside a notable leap in the expectations index. Despite this progress, the sector maintains a cautious stance, with optimism yet to fully take root. This caution is underscored by the continued contraction of order books.

The trading sector also experienced a boost in confidence, with companies reporting increased satisfaction with their current situation and a more optimistic outlook for the future. Retailers, in particular, expressed a sense of hope, potentially heralding a turnaround in the sector's fortunes, as per ifo.
