European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde will step down from her position in February 2027, departing several months ahead of the conclusion of her eight-year term. Her exit will conclude more than seven years at the helm of the eurozone's top monetary authority.

The upcoming departure triggers a selection process among European leaders to determine the institution's next president. According to The Guardian, the change in leadership unfolds as the eurozone faces weak economic growth and inflation, with Lagarde viewed as a contender to take charge of the World Economic Forum.
