Three reasons to trust that De Cos can chair the ECB
The Government has made its support for the former governor official, who has solid technical arguments and a track record to take Spain to the top of the central bank.
The Spanish government has officially backed Pablo Hernández de Cos, former governor of the Bank of Spain, for the presidency of the European Central Bank (BCE). De Cos is competing against Klaas Knot of the Netherlands and Joachim Nagel of Germany to replace Christine Lagarde, whose term ends in October 2027. He has received recognition from experts in monetary policy and has a strong professional background in central banking, having worked closely with the BCE. Spain's solid economic growth and De Cos' experience make him a serious contender for the position.
