EZB: Isabel Schnabel steht vor Wechsel zum IWF
Die Deutsche könnte die Europäische Zentralbank nach Informationen des Handelsblatts vor Ablauf ihrer Amtszeit verlassen. Damit rückt ein Großumbau an der EZB-Spitze näher.
Deutsche Zentralbank director Isabel Schnabel may leave the European Central Bank (ECB) prematurely to take the lead of the Markets Department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), according to government and financial sources reported by Handelsblatt. This possible major reshuffle at the top of the ECB brings it closer. However, Schnabel would not be involved in this transition: a move to the IMF would eliminate her as a German candidate for the next ECB presidency.
Speculation has been building for months that ECB chief Christine Lagarde might depart the bank before her 2027 term ends to join the World Economic Forum in Davos. Starting in June 2027, the ECB will also need a new chief economist, as the eight-year term of Irish economist Philip Lane concludes. Schnabel's term at the ECB expires at the end of 2027.
