European Central Bank — Indicator of negotiated wage rates (INW)
Official time series for the Indicator of Negotiated Wage Rates (INW), published by the European Central Bank as part of its Data Portal under the INW dataflow. Data is delivered through a single SDMX 2.1 REST endpoint, available in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, or JSON formats, with the ability to extract specific series using a key path together with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal. The dataset supports analysis of wage-setting trends across the euro area, useful for monitoring inflation-related labour cost developments.Indicator of negotiated wage rates (INW) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the INW dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST. One endpoint serves XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (?format=csvdata) and JSON (?format=jsondata); extract exactly the series you need with a key path and startPeriod / endPeriod / lastNObservations filters. Browse and chart the same series on the ECB Data Portal.
