ECB: Wage growth in the coming quarters will be “very strong”

In its Economic Bulletin published on Monday, the European Central Bank (ECB) points out that wage growth in the coming quarters will be “very strong”, but that real wages will continue to fall in the coming months.

Additional comments

Wage growth in the coming quarters is expected to be very strong compared to historical patterns.

“This reflects robust labor markets that have so far not been substantially affected by the slowdown in the economy, increases in national minimum wages, and some recovery between wages and high inflation rates.”

But the expected economic slowdown and uncertainty about the outlook are likely to put downward pressure on wage growth beyond the near term..”
