Bank of France Governor Emmanuel Moulin commented on Christine Lagarde’s announcement that she will step down as president of the European Central Bank (ECB). Her resignation will take effect on 7 February 2027.
Moulin described Lagarde as an outstanding ECB president during troubled times. He said she enabled the bank to fulfil its mandate by relying on all members of the Governing Council.
He said Lagarde’s actions strengthened the euro and its international role. Moulin also credited her with being a pioneer in bringing the climate dimension into central banks’ work.
