Huddled in a retreat in a remote Arctic village, European Central Bank policymakers faced up last week to some cold hard facts: companies are profiting from high inflation while workers and consumers foot the bill

"You see a very clear reluctance to discuss profit," Daniela Gabor, a professor of economics and macro-finance at the University of West England in Bristol. "That illustrates that the distributional politics of inflation targeting is: You don't go for profits; you don't go for capital."

With those savings now being depleted and competition returning, things may be changing for ECB policymakers who have been calling for a redrafting of the inflation narrative. Wages are accelerating, with the ECB's forward-looking wage tracker anticipating a rise of nearly 5% in 2023 for contracts signed in the last quarter of 2022. But that won't offset the massive drop in real wages over the past year, analysts said.

Damning stuff

Did they actually have to huddle in a retreat in a remote Arctic village to finally come to that conclusion?
