I will be leaving the @ecb in February 2027 because I want to have the freedom of speech, the freedom of expression, and the freedom to engage on matters that are not monetary policy matters.

We’ve just taken our latest monetary policy decisions, determined to ensure that inflation stabilises at our two percent target in the medium term.

Tune in to Euro Matters to hear President Christine @Lagarde present the decisions in our press conference pod.link/ecbpodcast/epi…

Today we kept our key interest rates at their current levels.

We are well positioned to deal with the very uncertain economic situation.

Inflation has gone up again, but the economy keeps growing despite headwinds and many people have jobs ecb.europa.eu/press/press_co…

I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ecb President on 7 February 2027.

It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution.

I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

Just to avoid any social media chatter: the plasters on my face are due to a small surgery earlier in the week.

Follow doctor’s orders and get your skin checked regularly!

I was deeply saddened to hear about the train crash in Toledo.

My thoughts are with the victims, their families, the first responders and the people of Spain on this dark day.

I was delighted to welcome @MarosSefcovic, European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, as well as Interinstitutional Relations and Transparency, to the @ecb.

He joined the Governing Council members for an informal discussion on the state of global trade.

Art opens our minds to new perspectives and ideas.

Thank you to the Museum Reinhard Ernst for an inspiring evening celebrating creativity.

I was delighted to meet Alexandros Papaioannou, Ambassador of the Hellenic Republic to Germany, in Frankfurt today.

Open dialogue between countries is essential to a strong, united Europe.

🇪🇺 It was a pleasure to catch up with Petra Hielkama, Chairperson of @eiopa_europa_eu, our neighbours in Frankfurt.

Collaboration between European institutions is so important to foster progress and better serve Europeans.

It was a week full of productive discussion and collaboration at the #IMFMeetings.

Great to see so many familiar faces and discuss together how to tackle the current challenges facing our economies.

The global economy has proven surprisingly resilient to uncertainty, says President @Lagarde. A return to an international economic order grounded in openness, predictability and the rule of law would help trade and investment. Read the IMFC statement link.europa.eu/XfnbnP

I had the pleasure of meeting @federalreserve Governor Kevin Warsh at the #IMFMeetings in Bangkok.

Our economies are deeply interconnected.

By sharing our experiences and working together, we can better navigate today’s challenges and ensure a more stable global economy.

.@EU_Commission @ecb #Eurogroup to set up a dialogue with China to discuss macroeconomic policy.
We aim to foster mutual understanding, sustainable growth and a vibrant industry while preserving the rules-based international order.
We look forward to continuing this work.

Another busy day at the #IMFMeetings in Bangkok.

I'm delighted to see my European colleagues and also those from around the world coming together this week to tackle today's challenges.

🇹🇭🇪🇺 Lovely to see Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul at the #IMFMeetings in beautiful Bangkok.

I sat down with @CNN's @richardquest at the #IMFMeetings to talk about the economic outlook and leadership in an age of change.
