Lagaire’s exit signals a new ECB era — proof even central bankers eventually find the exit door 🚪

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde has announced plans to leave her role at the central bank on 7 February 2027.

“I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027,” Lagarde said in a Thursday post on X.

Lagarde became ECB president in November 2019 and will have served for about seven years and three months when she leaves office.
