In Belgium a lot of stuff (salaries, rents, social welfare) is tied to inflation, and sometimes we do 'Index Jumps', where we simply don't index for a year.

Belgium is fairly unique in that respect. If I remember correctly, it also takes into account the evolution of salaries in neighboring countries (France, Germany) when deciding collective salary increases.
