(108,903 posts)8. German business climate declines for fifth month
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19697643
Sentiment was particularly gloomy among manufacturers
Germany's business climate deteriorated for the fifth consecutive month in September, according to the influential Ifo Institute.
Its monthly index based on a survey of 7,000 companies, fell to 101.4 last month, from 102.3 in August.
It was the index's lowest reading since February 2010.
Analysts said the fall suggested that German businesses were not entirely convinced by the European Central Bank's bond-buying plans.
