The German economy in April 2018 – plateau
Again, after a bag of mixed signals in March, I do not really know what to make of the April 2018 data:
The German economy in March 2018 – Weakness ahead?
Also in comparison with February, March 2018 does not seem to be the month of recovery but rather a mixed bag if not the first signal of another bumby road ahead:
The German economy in February 2018 – a dent only?

The reactions … more
The German Economy in August 2017 – mixed signals
