In May, the index of investor confidence in the German economy rose to 25.2 points after April's -14 points. Analysts had expected a smaller increase, to only 13.7 points. However, the index of current economic conditions in the country has decreased – it now stands at -82 points against -81.2 points a month earlier, although it was predicted at -77 points. In the eurozone, the index of economic expectations has also increased significantly: from -18.5 points last month to 11.6 points now, with an expected value of -3.5 points. The assessment of the current economic situation in the region improved from -50.9 points to -42.4 points. According to the president of the Center for Economic Research in Europe (ZEW), Achim Wambach, there is a significant increase in optimism compared to April. This is due to the formation of a new government, progress in trade negotiations and stabilization of inflation, which has increased confidence in the market. The ZEW indicators partially offset the April losses and reflect an improvement in economic sentiment in both Germany and the eurozone.
