Deutsche Bundesbank — Statistics of negotiated wages - Aggregates and forecasts (BBWCAF1)
Official dataset from the Deutsche Bundesbank providing time series statistics on negotiated wages, covering aggregates and forecasts under the BBWCAF1 dataflow. The data is published via SDMX 2.1 REST, with a single endpoint supporting multiple formats including XML (SDMX-ML), CSV and JSON. Users can extract specific series using a key path along with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations filters. The dataset covers Germany at national level and is useful for economic analysis of wage negotiations and related price and economic indicators.Statistics of negotiated wages - Aggregates and forecasts (BBWCAF1) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBWCAF1 dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST. One endpoint serves XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (?format=csv) and JSON (?format=json); extract exactly the series you need with a key path and startPeriod / endPeriod / lastNObservations filters.
