The head of the European Central Bank (ECB), Christine Lagarde, will leave her post early on February 7, 2027. The early departure of Lagarde, who can lead the World Economic Forum, would allow French President Macron to influence the choice of a successor before the French presidential election in the spring of 2027, when he will have no chance to name a successor.
