The euro climbed as a report showed German business confidence rose to the highest level in seven months in February amid progress in taming the region’s debt crisis.
The Munich-based Ifo institute said its business climate index climbed to 109.6 from 108.3 in January. That’s the highest reading since July.
The euro stayed higher even as European Commission data forecast that Europe’s economy will shrink in 2012, with Italy and Spain facing sudden crunches as they battle to escape the debt crisis. The euro block will contract 0.3 percent, the commission said, abandoning a November forecast of 0.5 percent growth. The downgrade was mainly due to projected contractions of 1.3 percent in Italy and 1 percent in Spain.
