German investors' confidence in the economy rose strongly in January, according to data released on Tuesday, easing concerns over problems in the global supply chain and the spread of the Omicron mutation.
The German ZEW institute's monthly barometer measuring economic expectations rose 21.8 points, to 51.7, despite challenging conditions at the start of 2022.
Investors' assessment of the current economic situation fell again, by 2.8 points, to minus 10.2, after Europe's largest economy may have contracted in the last quarter of 2021.
