In Germany, the Germany Composite Output Index tracks business trends across both the manufacturing and service sectors, based on data collected from a representative panel of over 1,000 companies (50 percent from the manufacturing sector and 50 percent from the services sector). The index tracks variables such as sales, new orders, employment, inventories and prices. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in business activity and below 50 indicates that it is generally declining.
