The business climate in German industry and trade fell slightly in November. The enterprises judged both their current business situation as well as their six-month outlook a little more unfavourably than in October. This, however, is not to be seen as a reversal of the upward trend but as a reaction to the strong rise in the two preceding months, a common phenomenon observed in past surveys. At a balance of -5.4 percentage points, the index was still clearly higher than the September value; the basic tendency of the indicator is thus upwards and supports the forecast of a continuation of the moderate economic upswing.
