The business climate in German trade and industry clouded over slightly in May, as the current business conditions were assessed a little more unfavourably after the strong improvement in April. The business expectations stabilised after a three-month upswing. The decline in the climate indicator for eastern and western Germany is basically due to the unfavourable development in the new states, whereas in western Germany slight improvement tendencies were observed.
