2026.04.2109:00:00UTC+00German ZEW Current Conditions Plunge Further Into Negative Territory in April

Germany’s economic sentiment deteriorated further in April, as the ZEW Current Conditions index fell sharply, underscoring persistent weakness in Europe’s largest economy.

The indicator dropped to -73.7 in April 2026, down from -62.9 recorded in March 2026. The data, updated on 21 April 2026, highlight a deepening pessimism among financial market experts regarding the current state of the German economy.

The continued slide into more negative territory suggests that underlying economic conditions remain strained, with no clear signs of an imminent turnaround reflected in this survey-based measure.
