Why is the ECB keeping a close eye on wage dynamics?
High inflation is raising concerns about its impact on wages and costs. In Belgium, the rapid adjustment of wages as a result of automatic indexation mechanisms contrasts with the more gradual process elsewhere in the euro area. In both cases, however, productivity growth has not been sufficient to contain costs, which is putting pressure on prices.

In recent months, the trend of ever lower, and eventually negative, growth rates seen since the end of 2022 has stabilised. However, the figures are still in negative territory, mainly due to diamonds, energy and chemical products.
