Germany, Europe’s largest economy, witnessed a decline in business morale
in June, highlighting growing concerns about the country’s economic
outlook. The closely watched Ifo business climate index fell for the first
time in six months, indicating increased uncertainty and dampened optimism
among German businesses.
The weakening business sentiment can be attributed to various factors,
including ongoing supply chain disruptions, rising input costs, and
persistent challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The manufacturing
sector, in particular, faced difficulties due to shortages of raw materials
and components, impacting production and export capabilities.
