It's now official. In a press release published this Thursday, the European Central Bank announced that its president Christine Lagarde will leave office on February 7, 2027, a few months before the end of her mandate scheduled for October. Christine Lagarde informed the Board of Governors of the monetary institute as well as the President of the European Council, António Costa, of her decision to leave her post in February, according to a press release.
His successor will be appointed by the European Council in accordance with the procedure provided for by the Treaties of the European Union.
