Germany's Ifo institute upgraded its growth forecasts for Germany on Thursday. Germany's economy is expected to expand 1.8% in 2016, up from the previous estimate of 1.6%, and 1.6% in 2017, up from the previous estimate of 1.5%. The upward revision was driven by a strong labour market and higher state spending on refugees.
Finland's Finance Minister Alexander Stubb said on Thursday that Britain's exit from the European Union (EU) would have the same effect for Europe like the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in the U.S.
"We're in the midst of one of the most historic weeks in the history of European integration," he added.
Japan's Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Friday that he was concerned about "one-sided, rapid and speculative" moves of the yen. He pointed out that the government was ready to act to prevent these moves if needed.
According to data from the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index, consumers' expectations for U.S. economy decreased to 42.1 in in the week ended June 12 from 43.5 the prior week.
The decrease was driven by drops in all sub-indexes. The measure of views of the economy was down to 32.7 from 32.9, the buying climate index slid to 38.0 from 40.3, while the personal finances index dropped to 55.8 from 57.4.

The yen held near multi-year highs against the dollar and euro early on Friday, having surged after the Bank of Japan refrained from adding fresh stimulus, while sterling recovered ground as the killing of a pro-European Union lawmaker was expected to boost sentiment for the "Remain" camp in Britain's EU referendum.
Because of its safe-haven status, the yen has benefited from uncertainty over the outcome of next Thursday's referendum in Britain on whether to remain in the EU or leave, with both the U.K. and EU economies seen suffering if Britain quits.
"Продолжающееся бездействие со стороны Банка Японии перед лицом этих рисков только усиливает подозрения на рынке, что центральный банк работает из вариантов политики, подавая обратно в более сильной иены", сказал экономист HSBC Izumi Devalier в примечании.
Министр финансов Японии Таро Асо заявил в пятницу, что он был глубоко обеспокоен "односторонними, быстрых и спекулятивных движений" видели на валютном рынке и будет реагировать, если это необходимо для обеспечения стабильности в валютах.
The euro hovered just above 117.32 yen, after skidding to a three-year trough of 115.51.
Campaigning in Britain was suspended after the parliamentarian, a vocal advocate for staying in the EU, was shot dead in the street.
"Market participants appear to have interpreted the killing as a blow to support for the leave camp," analysts at Commonwealth Bank wrote in a note to clients.
Sterling bounced back above $1.4200, turning around from a slide to a two-month low of $1.4013.
"$1.4 is an important level in a historical perspective. It is very rare for the pound to stay below that level. It may not be easily broken," said a trader at U.S. bank in Tokyo.
Preparing for a market storm, many of the world's biggest banks plan to draft senior traders to work through the night following the referendum, and policymakers in several countries are on guard against volatility.
