About German IFO
The headline IFO business climate index was rebased and recalibrated in July after the IFO Research Institute changed the series from the base year of 2000 to the base year of 2005 as of July 2011 and then changed series to include services as of July 2018. The survey now includes 9,000 monthly survey responses from firms in the manufacturing, service sector, trade and construction.
