Possible candidate to run World Economic Forum departs ECB nine months early, saying she wants to speak her mind about world affairs

Christine Lagarde, the eurozone’s top central banker, has said she is stepping down nine months early to speak her mind about world affairs and confront the “misrepresentation of the truth”.

Ending months of speculation about her future at the European Central Bank, Lagarde said she would quit her role as president next February rather than October next year because the rules of neutrality that governed her job prevented her from influencing debate about financial and economics affairs.

Why Europe has been absent from the great AI safety debate

18. September 2026 um 19:37

Though Europe has measures that address how consumers might encounter AI, technology will impact them if the worst scenarios bear

Europe’s dilemma over AI was rendered in stark terms this week. The head of the continent’s central bank, Christine Lagarde, said Europeans have two options: shun the technology and lose out on growth; or embrace it and become dependent on tools developed by the US and China.

The great debate over AI safety that has erupted in recent days threatens to make the choice moot. If the worst scenarios come to bear – and experts have differing views on this – then the technology will impact the continent regardless.

Central bank chief says continent’s AI dependency could give trade partners unprecedented leverage in negotiations

Europe must develop its own AI technology and build more datacentres in order to nullify the threat of being cut off by the US or China, according to the president of the European Central Bank.

Christine Lagarde said the continent needed AI models – the technology that powers AI tools such as chatbots – that were “good enough” to carry out most tasks and run from domestic datacentres. If Europe invests in its own AI tech, said Lagarde, “the threat of being cut off loses its force”.

Europäische Zentralbank: Rätselraten um Lagardes Karrierepläne

Bleibt sie an der Spitze der EZB – oder geht sie? Christine Lagarde mischt im französischen Präsidentschaftswahlkampf mit. Ihre Ambitionen auf andere Jobs verunsichern die Belegschaft.

Christine Lagarde führt seit 2019 die EZB, ihr Vertrag läuft noch 2027. Jetzt spricht sie plötzlich davon, dass sie sich in die französische Präsidentschaftsdebatte einbringen könnte.

EU’s foreign policy chief says many countries still ‘want to join our club’

EU’s Kallas appears to be slightly sceptical about the idea of appointing an EU envoy for talks on ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

She earlier said that “what matters more than having a seat at the table is knowing what to ask [for] when you are sitting there.”

“That’s why I proposed to the member states [a] concrete mandate [of] the asks that we would have to Russia. So whoever goes to that table, whether it’s individually or bilaterally, they should ask [for] these things from the Russians.

We have a saying in Estonian that if you demand a lot, you get little; if you demand little, you get nothing, and if you demand nothing, you pay on top.”

Rolling coverage of the final day of the World Economic Forum in Davos

The weakening world order has been a key issue at WEF’s annual meeting this week, but could space be an area where the big powers, and the rest, can still co-operate?

Max Haot, CEO of Vast Space, is here in Davos, and is optimistic that heightened geopolitical tensions will not undermine the space industry.

Even during the Cold War, we did things with Russia at the time. We connected the Soyuz capsule of Russia with the Apollo capsule, and later on, we worked with Mir and the space shuttle.

We also hope, obviously, the collaboration starts on every level. Everything tells us historically, that there is a really good chance that the symbolism of human spaceflight, the desire to work together, the higher goal, can survive some more short-term tensions in other areas.

Ten governors including Bank of England’s Andrew Bailey and ECB’s Christine Lagarde say independence is critical

Global central banks have issued an extraordinary joint statement offering “full solidarity” to the US Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, in the face of the latest threat to his independence from Donald Trump’s White House.

“The independence of central banks is a cornerstone of price, financial and economic stability in the interest of the citizens that we serve. It is therefore critical to preserve that independence, with full respect for the rule of law and democratic accountability,” the statement said.
