The camp of the economy pessimists in the German economy gets growing support for the Ukraine crisis. The mood in the head clouded days in August for the fourth month in a row and is now as bad as for over a year not more. The Ifo business climate index fell by 1.7 points to 106.3, as the Munich-based Ifo institute said on Monday in his survey of 7000 managers.
