    Famous quotes by Wolfgang Franz:

    "The financial experts are apparently motivated by the general positive climate. The harsh economic reality, with its big reform plans still unresolved, increasingly seems to influence economic expectations."
    "The expectations of financial market experts have stagnated at a high level."
    "The only thing likely to further stimulate expectations at this stage would be economic policy measures to tackle the present challenges. Implementing working groups is not enough."
