German business activity increased at the quickest pace in ten months, driven by a rebound in manufacturing output, which saw its first increase in nearly two years, while the service sector stagnated amid weak demand. Inflationary pressures eased, employment continued to decline - though at a slower pace - and business sentiment improved, supported by stronger infrastructure spending and hopes for economic recovery.
French data also improved, but the overall sentiment remains pessimistic, with further output and employment declines. The business confidence droped to its lowest in almost five years.
