The German economy in June 2021 – a relaxed summer, but…

The overview of the German economy in the previous months always transported some sort of optimism, however, also always with some pessimistic connotation (cf. for the last issue, here). And also for June 2021 this type of „cautious optimism“ continues. But, hey, let’s take a more detailed view:

The German economy in May 2021 – increased optimism, but…

My last update on the German economy was aptly titled „cautious optimism warranted“ (here) and at first sight it seems that with the receeding pandemic, the economy flows back into its natural habitat. But, hey, let’s take a more detailed view:

The German economy in April 2021 – cautious optimism warranted

To me, the March ’21 figures implied that – given the then stark rising corona-figures – the German economy was rather „walking on egg-shells“ fearing another crash due to the ongoing and soon to be hardened lockdown (cf. here).

Morning Briefing – 4. März 2021 – DAX 15.000 – the sky is the limit, oder?

Guten Morgen,

Seit Jahren witzeln mein Senior-Partner in der Unternehmensberatung und ich darüber, dass der DAX (trotz scheinbar nur von uns wahrgenommener substantieller Schwächen der deutschen Wirtschaft) auf 15.000 Punkte steigt.

Also, alles super hier und die zwei Alten sollen sich – wie weiland Waldorf und Statler – doch bitte in ihre Loge zurückziehen und endlich anerkennen, dass es dieses Mal alles anders läuft. Na, dann schauen wir doch mal:
