Abstract

The Ifo World Economic Climate clearly improved at the beginning of the third quarter of 2007. Both the appraisals of the current economic situation as well as the six-month expectations have brightened again. These results point to a ro-bust economic development in the second half of 2007. The improvement in the Ifo Indicator affected all three major economic regions: Western Europe, North America and Asia. The inflation expectations for 2007 are largely stable at 2.8% for the US and 2.1% for Europe. In Asia they have risen slightly to 2.7%. The US dollar is considered to be slightly and the Japanese yen as clearly underval-ued. In contrast, the euro and the British pound are seen by the WES experts as still overvalued.
