The ECBs wage tracker shows wages are projected to rise by 2.6% this year, following a 3% increase in 2025. This figure for 2026 remains unchanged from the March forecast. ECB officials have emphasized that the outcome of wage negotiations is a key indicator for determining whether rising energy prices will trigger a sustained rise in inflation above its 2% target. ECB President Christine Lagarde stated that the ECB will closely monitor the data and conduct in-depth analysis of the wage agreement and collective bargaining agreement to be negotiated soon. The ECB kept its key interest rate unchanged last week but hinted that it might raise rates at its June meeting if the upward momentum in inflation since the start of the conflict in late February continues. The tracker indicates that there are currently no clear signs that the wage agreement will exacerbate inflation this year.

A further 39% of association members intend to keep their spending levels in Africa strong, according to a survey of members of the German-African Business Association.

Christoph Kannegiesser, the association's head, told Reuters that "the majority of individuals in businesses need to enhance their sports in the upcoming year." Because the trajectory of the continent is still increasing, it makes sense.


According to data from the financial system ministry, German companies invested around 1.6 billion euros in Africa in 2021, of which about 1.1 billion euros went to the sub-Saharan region.


Kannegiesser added he sees enormous opportunities inside the strong region in Africa as Europe's greatest banking system has been striving to minimize its dependence on Russia for the fuel for the invasion of Ukraine.


He noted Senegal, Nigeria, and Mauritania as countries having the capacity for investment, saying "The field of green hydrogen and liquefied gasoline will bring a brand new impetus in many countries."
