VIENNA (MNI)

Many German industrial firms are more upbeat about the outlook than they have been in recent months, with expectation in the auto and pharma sectors improving 'dramatically', according to the Ifo Institute's head of surveys, Klaus Wohlrabe. Ifo's January production expectations index rose to 8.4, up from 5.1 in December.

The picture is mixed, with beverage and chemical manufacturers also seeing expectations increase in January, while clothing, leather and furniture companies recorded declines.
