The institute's consumer senti- ment index fell to -25.5 heading into September from a slightly revised -24.6 in August, below expectations of analysts polled by Reuters of a reading of -24.3. "The chances that consumer sentiment can sustainably re- cover before the end of this year are dwindling more and more," said Ralf Buerkl, consumer ex- pert, GfK. Persistently high inflation rates are hindering any improvement in consumer sentiment, said Buerkl. Since consumer sentiment is likely to remain at a low level in the coming months, private consumption will not make a positive contribution to overall economic development this year and will rather be a burden on growth prospects in Germany, the GfK said. The consumer climate indica- tor forecasts the development of real private consumption in the following month. An indicator reading above zero signals year-on-year growth in private consumption. A value below zero indicates a drop compared with the same period a year earlier. One-point change According to GfK, a one-point change in the indicator corre- sponds to a year-on-year change of 0.1% in private consumption. The 'willingness to buy' indi- cator represents the balance be- tween positive and negative re- sponses to the question: 'Do you think now is a good time to buy major items?' The income expectations sub-index reflects expecta- tions about the development of household finances in the com- ing 12 months. The additional business cycle expectations index reflects the assessment of those questioned of the general economic situa- tion in the next 12 months.
