(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 25 - In August, the ifo Business Climate Index fell to 99.4 points, after 100.7 in July (seasonally adjusted), the ifo Institute said today. "This decline was due mainly to significantly less optimism in companies' expectations. Concerns are growing in the hospitality and tourism sectors in particular. By contrast, companies assessed their current situation as somewhat better than in the previous month," ifo noted "Supply bottlenecks for intermediate products in manufacturing and worries about rising infection numbers are putting a strain on the economy," the Institute noted.
