German business expectations improved in February 2026, pointing to a cautiously brighter outlook among companies. The indicator rose to 90.5, up from 89.5 in January 2026, according to the latest data updated on 23 February 2026.

While still below the 100-point mark that would signal broadly positive sentiment, the incremental increase suggests that German firms are becoming slightly more optimistic about the months ahead. The uptick in expectations may reflect early signs of stabilization in the business climate, as companies reassess risks and opportunities in the current economic environment.

Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases closely to determine whether February’s move marks the start of a more sustained improvement in corporate sentiment or merely a temporary pause in a weaker trend.
