Bei der EZB wird die Lagarde-Nachfolge wohl zum Duell Falke gegen Taube, Niederländer gegen Spanier
Auf die französische Juristin dürfte ein ausgewiesener Experte für Geldpolitik folgen, beide Kandidaten gelten als pragmatisch. Jetzt müssen sich die Euro-Länder politisch einigen.
The European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to face a duel between two candidates for the upcoming leadership position: a Dutch economist, Klaas Knot, and a Spanish central banker, Pablo Hernández de Cos. Both candidates are expected to bring a pragmatic approach to monetary policy and have experience managing their respective national central banks.
Knot is a former president of the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) and has been an advocate for tighter monetary policy, while Hernández de Cos served as the head of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and supports a more flexible approach to inflation. The nationality aspect still plays a role in the selection process, as past ECB presidents have come from France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
The current ECB president, Christine Lagarde, has expressed support for Knot, praising his intellect, resilience, and ability to work with others.
