Abstract

Die Unsicherheit deutscher Unternehmen im Hinblick auf die zukünftige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung ist zuletzt deutlich größer geworden. Das ifo Streuungsmaß, das monatlich im Rahmen der ifo Konjunkturumfragen berechnet wird und die Unsicherheit misst, ist zwischen Mai und September dieses Jahres um 6,2 Punkte gestiegen. Maßgeblich getrieben wird die zunehmende Unsicherheit durch die Unternehmen im Verarbeitenden Gewerbe und im Dienstleistungssektor.
