The focus is on the latest developments in retail, especially with regard to the rate of inflation and possible salary increases. According to * vienna.at *, the approximately 415,000 employees and 15,000 apprentices will be affected in the trade of upcoming changes. The recently negotiated collective agreement system leads to a salary increase of 3.3 percent for 2025, whereby an adjustment is expected for 2026 that is linked to inflation. However, there is an important condition: if inflation increases over 2.3 percent, the salary increase decreases accordingly. A renewed negotiation must take place from an inflation of 3 percent. This could have an immense impact on the financial situation of the employees who rely on stable inflation.

The drugstore chain DM, which announced on Friday, offers a ray of hope to increase wages and salaries by at least 3.8 percent from 1 January. This increase not only applies to the employees paid according to the collective agreement, but also to employees who receive the additional payments. The additional salary increase for low -earning employees and apprentices is particularly positive. These measures are of great importance in view of the increasing lifestyle and inflation costs.

The current inflation in Germany, which serves as a criterion for such salary adjustments, was determined by * finance-tools.de *. The consumer price index shows an inflation rate of around 2.2 percent for 2024, which is largely stable compared to the fluctuating rates of previous years. The calculations are based on a representative shopping cart that covers the price development of food, rents and other living costs. Higher inflation rates could also influence the negotiations on future wages and salaries and challenge the willingness of the companies to make appropriate adjustments.
