FRANKFURT: Germany's Ifo business confidence indicator fell in August, data showed on Monday, as Europe's biggest economy continues to run out of steam.

The Ifo economic institute's closely watched business climate index fell to 106.3 points in August from 108.0 in July. Analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires had expected a shallower dip, to 107.0 points.
