Germany GfK Consumer Climate  2001-2017 | Data | Chart | Calendar

The GfK Consumer Climate Indicator for Germany is set to edge down to 10.8 in October 2017 from a 16-year high of 10.9 in September. The figure came in below market consensus of 11, mainly due to a drop in both income expectations and propensity to buy. In September, income expectations fell for the first time in six months (down 8.7 points to 52.7) and the propensity to buy suffered due to the downturn (down 1.1 points to 57.0). In contrast, the economic expectations sub-index went up 3 points to 33.4, as Germans viewed their economy as being on the upswing and the employment market regularly sends positive signals. "A slight trend reversal downwards can be viewed more as a stabilisation process," GfK said in a statement. Consumer Confidence in Germany averaged 5.86 from 2001 until 2017, reaching an all time high of 16.80 in March of 2001 and a record low of -3.50 in March of 2003.
