The European Central Bank updated its wage tracker, projecting negotiated wage growth of 2.7% for the first half of 2027 based on current collective bargaining agreements.

The latest data indicates that the headline wage tracker reaches 2.7% in the first quarter of 2027 and 2.8% in the second quarter. While the tracker accounts for various collective agreements, the ECB noted that forward-looking signals are based on currently available information and do not constitute a formal economic forecast.
Traders monitoring the euro will note that these figures suggest a modest upward trend in wage negotiations, though employee coverage for the 2027 period remains limited. Because the tracker smooths out one-off payments over twelve months, it serves as a tool for observing quarterly dynamics in labor costs across participating euro area nations.
