All main sub-indexes suffered losses, with the increase in cost living weighing heavily and as consumers continue to see a significant risk of the German economy slipping into recession. The economic expectations gauge fell to -11.7 from -9.3; income expectations went down to -33.5 vs -23.7, the lowest value in almost 20 years; and the propensity to buy dropped to -13.7 from -11.1.
