    Quick Summary

    The ECB's wage tracker predicts gradual normalization of Eurozone wage growth, aligning with its 2% inflation target for the coming years.

    ECB Wage Tracker Indicates Gradual Normalization by 2026

    FRANKFURT, ‌Dec 19 (Reuters) - Euro ‍zone ‌wage growth should gradually slow ⁠and ‌normalise next year, the European Central Bank's updated wage ⁠tracker showed on Friday, underpinning ​the bank's projection for ‌inflation to ⁠stay around its 2% target for years to ​come.

    The wage tracker, which covers active collective bargaining agreements, points to ​wage ‍growth with ​smoothed one-off payments of 3.2% in 2025 and 2.3% in 2026, the ECB said.

    With unsmoothed ⁠one-off payments, the tracker indicates negotiated ​wage growth of 3.0% in 2025 and 2.7% in 2026, ‌the ECB said.
