HDE: Consumer sentiment back on an upward trend - but overall rather restrained
After the recovery in consumer sentiment had recently stalled, it is now on a slight upswing again in May. As the current consumer barometer of the German Retail Association (HDE) shows, the index is rising compared to the previous month and is above the level from the same month last year.
Consumers are increasingly optimistic about the future.
