Investing.com – As government stimulus measures continue to be implemented in Europe’s largest economy, Germany’s business confidence improved in February.

Munich Ifo Institute reported on Monday that its Business Climate Index rose to 88.6 this month, up from 87.6 in January. The index is based on monthly surveys of approximately 9,000 companies across Germany.

The February reading exceeded economists’ expectations in a Wall Street Journal survey, where they previously forecast the index would modestly rise to 88.1.

The improvement in business confidence comes as the German government’s stimulus efforts gain momentum, with various measures supporting economic activity being rolled out.
