Christine Lagarde quittera ses fonctions de présidente de la BCE en février
Cette décision permet au président français Emmanuel Macron d'avoir son mot à dire dans le choix de son successeur avant les élections de l'année prochaine.
Christine Lagarde, the current president of the European Central Bank, announced on Thursday that she will resign from her position on February 7th, ending months of speculation about her future and leaving the top leadership role vacant at one of Europe's most powerful institutions. The European Central Bank confirmed her departure in a statement, but provided no immediate details about her plans post-resignation.
This move paves the way for a comprehensive agreement among EU capitals regarding appointments to the ECB's executive board, which consists of six members. German economist Isabel Schnabel will leave her post in January to take up a high-level position at the International Monetary Fund, while Chief Economist Philip Lane's term ends in May.
Lagarde also sought the counsel of French President Emmanuel Macron in selecting her successor before the French presidential election next year.
