FRANKFURT—The chief executives of Germany’s two top banks, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank, warned about inflation on Friday, while the chairman of BNP Paribas said the real issue is growth.

The bankers were speaking at a conference in Frankfurt as investors closely watch the European Central Bank for its reaction to accelerating inflation.
