Financial expert warns against dubious fixed-term deposit offers and analyzes increasing online advertising and the poor mood in medium-sized businesses.

According to a report by www.onlinehaendler-news.de,

The current news update warned against dubious fixed-term deposit offers and fraudsters. The Brandenburg consumer advice center has warned consumers about promises of high interest rates and payments abroad and recommends checking the legal notice and searching the Internet for warnings or experience reports. The consumer advice center was able to avoid the loss of several tens of thousands of euros by checking two dubious offers. This warning should be taken seriously to avoid potential losses.

Online advertising is experiencing strong growth and is expected to overtake print advertising revenue. The German online market is expected to reach a good 5.46 billion euros by the end of the year. The higher demand from advertisers is due to high quality and secure inventory to protect against low-quality or fake content. This shows that companies are increasingly relying on high-quality and secure advertising space.

The Ifo SME barometer for the state development bank KfW shows a sharp decline in sentiment among German SMEs. The companies consider their situation to be extremely critical, as Germany's economic situation has been stagnating for a long time. The economic situation is assessed as difficult, with an expected decline in the coming year. This could have an impact on investments and business activities in medium-sized companies. It is therefore likely that companies will limit their spending and investments in the near future.
