[1] The ECB indicator of negotiated wage rates captures the outcome of collective bargaining processes and is not directly affected by these special factors.

Key Points: 
  • [1] The ECB indicator of negotiated wage rates captures the outcome of collective bargaining processes and is not directly affected by these special factors.
  • [2] It also tends to be published around one month earlier than wage indicators based on quarterly national accounts.
  • This box considers what role the indicator of negotiated wage rates can play in assessing and forecasting wage developments at the current juncture.
  • While the data on negotiated wages are available on a more timely basis, negotiated wage growth tends to only react with some lag to changes in labour market conditions.
  • The indicator of negotiated wage rates therefore tends to respond to cyclical labour market developments with a time lag of several quarters (see Chart A).
  • [3] Chart A Developments in negotiated wage growth and the unemployment rate (left-hand scale: annual percentage changes; right-hand scale: percentages)
  • Quarter-on-quarter changes in the indicator show that negotiated wage dynamics in 2020 have so far been very much in line with the profile observed on average since 1999 (see Chart B).
  • Changes to negotiated wages tend to occur mainly in the first quarter of each year.
  • This holds true both for average changes in the indicator of negotiated wage rates and for average absolute changes.
  • Chart B Seasonal pattern of changes in negotiated wages (quarter-on-quarter percentage changes; period analysed: 1999-2020 unless otherwise indicated)
  • At this juncture, some forward-looking information may be embedded in the wage drift.
  • The wage drift can be derived as the difference between growth rates of actual pay, as measured by gross wages and salaries per employee, and growth rates of negotiated wages.
  • [5] The wage drift signals the downward pressure that may emerge for negotiated wages should the situation in the labour market deteriorate, with workers who are currently on reduced hours instead becoming unemployed.
  • Chart C Wage drift and the contribution of hours worked to growth in compensation per employee (percentage point contributions)
