Lagarde pleacă de la șefia BCE înainte să i se termine mandatul. „Procesul de numire a succesorului începe de astăzi”

Christine Lagarde will leave her position as President of the European Central Bank on February 7, 2027, nearly nine months before her term ends. The European Council will begin the process of appointing her successor immediately. This decision allows French President Emmanuel Macron to influence the selection before the upcoming presidential elections. Lagarde has led the ECB since November 2019, navigating significant crises including the COVID-19 pandemic and rising energy prices due to the Ukraine war. Her future plans remain uncertain, but she may not withdraw from public life entirely.
