Klaus Schwab's desired candidate: Only a call from Paris could still prevent Christine Lagarde as WEF President
Christine Lagarde is likely to become the new head of the World Economic Forum after she leaves the European Central Bank - unless she is drawn back into French politics once again.
Christine Lagarde is expected to become the new head of the World Economic Forum (WEF) after her departure from the European Central Bank (ECB). Her appointment is considered a formality, with the WEF staff anticipating her leadership. Lagarde's exit from the ECB has fueled speculation about her new role, with some observers noting that she would be an ideal candidate to steer the WEF back on track.
However, some uncertainty remains due to the possibility of her returning to French politics, with presidential elections scheduled for April 2027.
