Abstract

After years of preparation, the Ifo Institute, in co-operation with the German Federation of Leasing Companies, has launched an indicator for the development of plant and equipment expenditure in Germany. Although it is still too early for a final assessment, it is already evident that the business expectation survey of leasing companies has a clear lead of about half a year over the investment figures published by the Federal Statistical Office and that the survey is an accurate indicator for investment in plant and equipment. The results of the latest survey indicate that spending growth in the first half of 2001 will amount to 6½%.
