ECB President Christine Lagarde will deliver a speech at the World Economic Forum headquarters in Geneva next week. This trip is likely to once again trigger discussions about her potential to step down as ECB president early. According to the ECB's public event week agenda announced on Friday, Lagarde is scheduled to participate in a panel discussion on the global economy on Wednesday. There is nothing special about this type of group public activity itself, but since reports surfaced last year that Lagarde might take over the World Economic Forum, rumors spread in the market that she would leave office early before her eight-year term in Frankfurt expires in October 2027.
