The indicator by the Leibniz Center for European Economic Research (ZEW) of economic sentiment for Germany rose by 10.9 points to 9.8 in November, back in positive territory for the first time since April.

An index of current conditions in Germany slightly increased by 0.1 points to minus 79.8 points.
