BERLIN, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- Germany's consumer sentiment is set to weaken further heading into the new year, a monthly survey showed on Friday, underscoring a sharp rise in households' propensity to save amid renewed inflation fears and broader economic uncertainty.
The GfK consumer climate index, a forward-looking indicator of private consumption, is forecast to fall by 3.5 points to minus 26.9 in January 2026, its lowest level since April 2024, according to the market research institute.
