European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde is to resign nine months ahead of the end of her 8-year term. European Council President Antonio Costa has said the process to find a successor is underway.

Europe’s largest countries are already jockeying over who will succeed Lagarde—and inherit responsibility for an economy facing mounting problems.

President Christine Lagarde said she quit as European Central Bank president early to speak out on political matters precluded by her current role.

Christine Lagarde told Euronews in an exclusive interview in July that she was not a candidate for any political office. Her announcement that she will leave the European Central Bank early, in February 2027, comes just months before France’s presidential election.

Central bank to vote on monetary policy seven times next year in shift from decades-old custom of having eight such meetings

Even though the interest-rate vote went as expected, there were a few surprises out of this week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting.

Markets expect the central bank to hold rates steady for now.

World reacts to Brazil President Lula's reelection

President Lula’s spectacular reelection sends a clear a warning to the global far-right after seven conservative presidential wins in Latin America in 18 months.

Despite losing the presidency, the right has made gains in Congress. And both sides face big decisions about which leaders should take their movements forward.

Lula won through a resonant message and new outreach success on social media. But governing in the face of a strong right at home and in Washington won’t be easy.

Flávio Bolsonaro is no mere conservative, but a representative of the radical right and a member of an international movement that critics say threatens democracies around the world.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career.

The incumbent president has pulled off a surprise win, but he will face a hostile Congress and a polarised country.
