“The outlook for the German economy has brightened towards the end of the year, we have not seen a more negative economic outlook in response to the Paris terror attacks. The solid level of economic growth in Germany appears to be based on growing consumer demand among Germans, the recent devaluation if of the Euro and progressive growth in the US” comments ZEW president Clemens Fuest.

The November survey was conducted among 225 analysts and institutional investors in Germany.

It coincides with strong employment figures released by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) today, with employment reaching a record high of 43 million people in the third quarter of 2015, the highest level since German reunification.
