Business outlook for the next six months

If you read German, check out manager magazin's Deutschland hui, Irland pfui, a report on the Ifo-Institut's forecast for the last half of 2007. If you don't, you can try Google Language Tools, but it translates "Wirtshaft" as "restaurant," valid in some contexts but a bit humorous here.

See their Economic Facts and Figures for more information and Ifo World Economic Climate remains stable for their version in English.

I like the Ifo Business-Cycle Clock in Ifo Business Climate Germany. It reminds me of the phase plane plots I draw from MCSim simulations, and it can be of similar use in communicating insights.
