The ongoing crisis on the financial markets continues to have a negative effect on the DBIX. October saw the index drop to a point not seen since the September 11 attacks of 2001.
Stefan Bergheim, analyst at Deutsche Bank Research in Frankfurt/Main says that this time, the DBIX will not recover as quickly as it did 7 years ago: "All over the world, the Business Confidence Indicators are plunging. This is in part due to the global financial crisis , that trust levels have been deteriorate around the world, and the D.B.I.X. has fallen now to a level, last seen after the terror attacs of September 11, 2001. Back then it was just one single month, the fear now is that the D.B.I.X. will stay that low for longer, indicating a global recession similar at least to what we saw in 1982/1983."

What's the D.B.I.X.?
Deutsche Bank Research has created exclusively for DW-TV an index that measures the mood of the global economy.
The DBIX, or German International Business Index, is made up of three key indices from three major economies: the US, Japan and Germany. Deutsche Bank Research experts collate and analyze the structural challenges in the various economic regions.
From the US, the source is the Purchasing Manager Index, which surveys 400 leading American companies. From Japan, data comes from the Index of Business Conditions compiled by the Economic and Social Research Institute based in Tokyo. From Germany, the information comes from the closely-watched ifo Business Confidence Survey, which checks the pulse of 7,000 German companies.
