The German Ifo Business Climate Index rose in June, highest it's been since May 2023.
Fiscal stimulus, improving sentiment have lifted outlooks across services, manufacturing.
While global growth stutters, Germany may be on track for a modest rebound in 2025.
The German economy seems set for modest growth this year, with the outlook cautiously positive.
Germany’s business sentiment hits a two-year high as the economy shows rare
signs of life amid global gloom, powered by a fiscal boost and cautious
optimism.
Just as the World Goes to Pieces… Germany’s Doing Well
Somewhere between Fed rate anxiety, Chinese property meltdowns, and
global political mayhem, Germany—the economy everyone loved to call the “sick
man of Europe”—is, improbably, feeling better. The Ifo Business Climate
Index (site),
a closely watched indicator of sentiment in Europe’s largest economy, rose to
88.4 in June, beating expectations (just barely) and marking
its highest point in over two years.
Die Stimmung unter den #Unternehmen in 🇩🇪Deutschland hat sich verbessert. Der #ifoGeschäftsklimaindex stieg im Juni auf 88,4 Punkte, nach 87,5 Punkten im Mai. Insbesondere die Erwartungen hellten sich auf. Die deutsche Wirtschaft schöpft langsam Zuversicht. #ifoUmfragepic.twitter.com/zrKIfuslIL
That may not sound thrilling. But in a world teetering on the edge of
recession, even a hint of stability from Germany feels like a full-blown
comeback tour.
Mood Boosted: Business Sentiment Hits a Two-Year High
According to the Ifo Institute's June survey, business sentiment isn’t
just climbing—it’s inching toward optimism territory. Expectations, especially
among service providers and manufacturers, are looking up. The Ifo Expectations
Index clocked in at 88.4—up from May’s 87.5—marking the third consecutive monthly
rise.
Clemens Fuest, president of the Ifo Institute (Ifo Institute).
“Sentiment among companies in Germany has brightened,” said
Clemens Fuest, president of the ifo Institute. “Companies were more
satisfied with their current business situation, and their expectations rose
noticeably. German businesses are hoping for a recovery,” he added. Translation: no one’s popping champagne, but
the worst may be behind us.
The services sector is leading the way, driven by easing inflation and
steady domestic demand. Even manufacturing, Germany’s industrial backbone, is
showing signs of thawing after a frigid couple of years.
The Government Finally Showed Up—With Cash
What’s driving this mild resurgence? Partly, a long-overdue fiscal
jolt.
The German government’s recent
stimulus efforts—including tax relief and investment in digital and green
infrastructure—are helping to stabilize the economic ship. After years of
austerity-mode thinking, Berlin seems to have rediscovered its wallet.
These fiscal moves come on top of a stabilizing labor market and modest
wage growth, which have helped lift consumer morale. It’s not a spending spree,
but it’s enough to push the economy out of stall mode.
The Bundesbank has taken note, revising
its growth expectations slightly upward for 2025. Analysts now believe GDP
could slightly, but that 2026 and 2027 could see 0.7 % and 1.2 % growth. Not
terribly exciting, but better than nothing.
Don’t Call It a Boom—But Don’t Call It a Bust
No, Germany’s economy hasn’t suddenly exploded. But this
slow-and-steady narrative has appeal, especially when contrasted with more
chaotic economies.
June’s Ifo survey shows improvements across key industries, from
construction to trade, suggesting a broad-based, if modest, revival. Inflation
is down from its highs, and interest rates may have peaked—offering relief to
businesses and households alike.
German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche wrapped up her first D.C. visit, focusing on trade and tariff talks. As the 3rd largest US investor with €253 billion in annual trade, “It is crucial that we find solutions to trade issues that benefit both sides," highlighted Reiche. pic.twitter.com/bBvRcJHg4p

Of course, risks remain. Global demand is shaky, geopolitical tensions
loom, and Germany’s energy transition is still mid-flight. But for now, the
mood is cautiously upbeat—something that’s been in short supply.
Stability Is the New Sexy
In a global economy lurching from crisis to crisis, Germany’s gentle
upward curve is getting noticed. For investors, it signals renewed confidence
in the eurozone’s core. For businesses, it offers a more stable operating
environment. And for policymakers, it’s a reminder that good old-fashioned
fiscal stimulus still works.
Don’t expect fireworks—but do expect less hand-wringing over German
decline.

Louis Parks has lived and worked in and around the Middle East for much of his professional career. He writes about the meeting of the tech and finance worlds.
In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
