The Mannheim, Germany-based group's sentiment index rose 5.7 points from last month to 42 in August, the highest level since March. The group's measure of Germany's current economic conditions also improved in August.
ZEW says the gains reflect signs of growing economic strength in the eurozone and robust domestic demand in Germany.
