ifo Economic Forecast Eastern Germany and Saxony
The monitoring of economic activity has been one of the main tasks of io Dresden since its founding in 1993. In recent years a system for economic forecasting has been developed using data from the ifo Business Survey in Eastern Germany and Saxony.
Twice a year since 2001 ifo Dresden, in consultation with the business-cycle researchers at the ifo Institute in Munich, have presented forecasts on the development of the economy and labour market in Saxony and since 2004 for all of eastern Germany. These forecasts are based on ifo’s summer and winter economic forecasts for all of Germany. The forecasts are presented at a press conference and to the working group Konjunkturbeobachtung Sachsen and published in the journal ifo Dresden berichtet.
