Christine Lagarde is expected to step down from her role as president of the European Central Bank before completing her eight-year term, according to the Financial Times. The report, citing a person familiar with her thinking, suggests an early departure but provides no timeline or reasons. Other news outlets said it could not immediately verify the information. Lagarde has led the Frankfurt-based institution since 2019. An early exit would trigger a high-stakes succession process at a sensitive moment for eurozone monetary policy.
