Christine Lagarde's departure from the ECB: succession and speculation for 2027
Following the announcement of Christine Lagarde's early departure from the presidency of the ECB, questions arose about a possible political role in 2027, while her climate record and future remuneration were examined. The governor of the Bank of France stated that this departure was a personal career choice, allowing Emmanuel Macron to influence the appointment of her successor. The succession process was officially launched in early November 2026, with Spain proposing Pablo Hernández de Cos and two candidates, the Dutchman Klaas Knot and the Spaniard, ultimately in the running. The negotiations revealed a duel between Northern and Southern European countries, with Klaas Knot setting conditions for France. Meanwhile, the hypothesis of Christine Lagarde running in the 2027 presidential election was raised by voices from the right and center, then commented on by the person concerned, with polls crediting her with 14% without her being a declared candidate.
