Pay growth for workers in the euro zone — a key driver of inflation — will slow sharply in 2025 and 2026, according toEuropean Central Bank Chief Economist Philip Lane.

The second half of this year will still see “plenty of wage increases,” Lane told a conference Thursday in Frankfurt, citing the ECB’s own tracker of salary trends. But “the catch-up is peaking now” and there’ll be a much less rapid pace in the next two years, he said.
