In 1950, one year after the launch of the ifo Business Survey in the manufacturing industry,
the ifo Institute extended the survey to the retailing sector. Data on current developments in
this sector can, amongst other things, provide valuable information on private consumption
in Germany. In 1951, the wholesale sector was included. Companies from this sector provide
trade goods to the retail sector as well as to manufacturing and construction companies
and are therefore closely linked to general economic development. The results of the ifo
Business Survey trade are incorporated into the calculation of the ifo Business Climate Index
for Germany. Since 1991, i.e., after reunification, survey results of the trade sector have been
available for Germany as a whole, as well as for some federal states with a sufficient number
of participating trade companies, such as Bavaria, Baden-Wurttemberg, and Saxony.
