Lagarde to step down as ECB chief in February
European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde will resign on Feb. 7, 2027, about nine months before her eight-year term ends, the ECB announced Thursday (Oct. 29). Yonhap reports the resignation, long rumored, opens the way for European leaders—notably French President Emmanuel Macron—to pick a successor, with some speculation she may take a World Economic Forum role. The ECB also held its three key policy rates steady the same day, citing lingering inflation and economic slowdown risks.
