The “Trade-Fair Index” is based on data from the Ifo Business Survey and reveals the economic position of companies that exhibit their products at international consumer and investment goods trade-fairs in Germany. The index calculations for the past years show that the business climate of exhibiting companies was an average of around 9 balance points above that of companies without trade-fair participation.
