INW - Indicator of Negotiated Wages
The Indicator of Negotiated Wages (INW) is compiled by the European Central Bank (ECB) based on non-harmonised country data. Time series on "negotiated" or "contractual" earnings are provided by National Central Banks (NCBs) and National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) either via direct transmission or via the BIS database.
