Extreme weather is becoming more frequent and more severe, and the associated costs are rising. Europe needs better protection against the financial fallout from climate change and a more flexible energy system, says President @Lagarde in her blog post ecb.europa.eu/press/blog/dat…

It was a pleasure to welcome His Excellency Sheikh Bandar bin Mohammed Al-Thani, Governor of the Qatar Central Bank, to Frankfurt today. In an evolving global economy, it's important that we exchange perspectives and experiences with our international central banking colleagues.

I sat down with @CCTV’s Zou Yun on the sidelines of the @IMFNews meetings two weeks ago to talk about a range of topics, including developments in artificial intelligence. Watch our conversation youtu.be/VffcSLtorzM?si=S26w…

I will be leaving the @ECB in February 2027 because I want to have the freedom of speech, the freedom of expression, and the freedom to engage on matters that are not monetary policy matters.

Today we kept our key interest rates at their current levels. We are well positioned to deal with the very uncertain economic situation. Inflation has gone up again, but the economy keeps growing despite headwinds and many people have jobs ecb.europa.eu/press/press_co…

Just to avoid any social media chatter: the plasters on my face are due to a small surgery earlier in the week. Follow doctor’s orders and get your skin checked regularly!

I was deeply saddened to hear about the train crash in Toledo. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, the first responders and the people of Spain on this dark day.

The global economy has proven surprisingly resilient to uncertainty, says President @Lagarde. A return to an international economic order grounded in openness, predictability and the rule of law would help trade and investment. Read the IMFC statement link.europa.eu/XfnbnP

I had the pleasure of meeting @federalreserve Governor Kevin Warsh at the #IMFMeetings in Bangkok. Our economies are deeply interconnected. By sharing our experiences and working together, we can better navigate today’s challenges and ensure a more stable global economy.
