En juillet, les salaires allemands ont enregistré leur plus forte hausse en presque quatre ans, ce qui offre un contraste frappant avec les réductions salariales et les pertes d’emploi constatées dans la plupart des pays de la zone euro.
The Federal Statistics Office said on Monday (29 October) that German wages rose by 3.2% year-on-year in July, the highest increase since a 3.4% expansion in October 2008. Wage increases this year have outpaced inflation, which runs around 2% , and are fuelling expectation that German consumers may spend more, in turn boosting demand for imports from European partners. Even though Germans are traditionally more likely to save than spend, consumer activity has been a pillar of the economy, helping it to expand by 0.5% in the first three months of the year. Separately, a government source said on Monday that Germany's income from tax receipts should be €7 billion to €8 billion higher this year than previously forecast.
Consumer sentiment rose to its highest level in more than five years going into November, suggesting domestic demand will carry the economy through the expected slowdown in the second half of this year.
