Lagarde to retire from ECB - Christine Lagarde will resign as president of the ECB (European Central Bank) on February 7, 2027.
- Her 8-year term was scheduled to end on October 31, 2027.
- The ECB did not give a reason.
- Hey, maybe by leaving in February, while Macron is still president until May, she closes the door to him taking over the ECB, her legacy, she fights crypto and loss, and pushes for the digital euro.
