German business confidence dipped ahead of election

Fallen to 115.2 points from 115.9 in August

(ANSA) - FRANKFURT - German business optimism took a dip in September ahead of federal elections and amid concerns about a stronger euro. The Ifo business climate indicator fell to 115.2 points from 115.9 in August.

The survey result remains well above the long-term average since 1991 of 102.1 as Germany enjoys steady growth and low unemployment. The survey published Monday by the Munich-based Ifo institute is a leading indicator, meaning it is intended to give a sense of where the economy is going in coming months.
