Speculation about her possible early resignation has persisted for several months. The ECB president did not confirm it with her statement, but nor did she clearly rule out leaving before the end of her term.
Going forward, the ECB will continue to decide on the setting of monetary policy based on economic data and price developments. Whether Lagarde remains in office until the end of her mandate is to be decided later.
