ChainCatcher reports that the UK Financial Times, citing sources, states that European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde is considering resigning early before her term ends so that French President Macron and German Chancellor Merz can reach an agreement on her successor, with the timing possibly aligning with the French presidential election in April 2027. The ECB spokesperson later responded, stating that Lagarde is “fully focused on her duties and has not made any decisions regarding the end of her term.”
