Der Wage Tracker der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB), der laufende Tarifverträge erfasst, zeigt für das Jahr 2025 bei Glättung von Einmalzahlungen einen Anstieg der Tariflöhne um 3,2 % (bei einer Abdeckung von 50,7 % der Beschäftigten in den teilnehmenden Ländern) und für 2026 einen Anstieg um 2,3 % an (bei einer Abdeckung von 39,7 %). Der Abdeckungsgrad nimmt über den zukunftsgerichteten Zeithorizont hinweg allmählich ab, da 2026 noch weitere Tarifverträge abgeschlossen werden.

The monetary policy turnaround shaped the Bundesbank’s balance sheet last year. The profit and loss account for 2022 reported a distributable profit of zero. This result was achieved by tapping €1 billion worth of risk provisions. As in the previous years, no profit was transferred to the Federal budget. “The Bundesbank sustained exceptional financial burdens in 2022,” Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel said at the joint press conference with Executive Board member Joachim Wuermeling.
