Christine Lagarde Instagram - Today is International Youth Day. Young people are Europe’s future, and we must provide them with the tools and knowledge to navigate the world of tomorrow.

At the ECB, we frequently engage with young Europeans and listen to their views. I hope the advice I have shared at events over the past months, 
speaking from my own experience, will be of use to young people along whichever path they choose to follow.

Christine Lagarde Instagram - I enjoyed showing Richard Quest our building in Frankfurt and some of its main rooms like:
 
🔹 The Governing Council room, where every six weeks we meet to decide on monetary policy
 
🔹 The market room, the ECB’s eyes and ears in financial markets
 
🔹 The banknote anti-counterfeiting laboratory that allows us to improve our banknotes security features.
 
We also sat down to discuss the latest monetary policy decisions and my first four years as ECB President.
Christine Lagarde Instagram - The euro is key to our European unity. A digital euro, existing alongside cash, would future-proof our currency. It would be safe, easy to use and free of charge.

While the decision whether to issue a digital euro will be taken later, we’re now launching the preparation phase.
Christine Lagarde Instagram - This week, I’m at the Annual Meetings of @the_imf and @worldbank in Marrakesh, Morocco.

Christine Lagarde Instagram - A new year has begun – full of new challenges and opportunities. 

It is also 25 years since the euro was introduced – so there’s reason to celebrate! As the custodians of the euro, we acknowledge this milestone and look towards the future, as the journey of the euro has only just begun.

So, with that, I wish you and your loved ones a happy new year, and a successful 2024.
Christine Lagarde Instagram - We have made progress on gender equality, but better is not good enough.

Today, on International Women’s Day, I spoke about the importance of closing the gap at the Professional Women’s Network’s Global Summit. I want to share some thoughts:

▶️ Gender inequality persists in way too many sectors. Women need take their rightful place in the jobs and occupations that will define the future.

▶️ We need more entrepreneurs in Europe, but we are not getting the most out of female talent. Only 11% of EU start-ups are led by women.

To all women, don’t short yourself. Think big. Take risks.
Christine Lagarde Instagram - I met my dear colleague Claudia Buch for lunch today at the Eurotower where we discussed issues in central banking and banking supervision.

It’s always important to exchange views and align when needed – and sometimes this includes to align visually as you can see!
 
We might have separate mandates, but we are united by our dedication to work for the ECB and for Europe 🇪🇺
 
After more than 25 years of the ECB and 10 years of the SSM it’s the “one bank spirit” that makes us stronger together.

Christine Lagarde Instagram - When I think of the late Wolfgang Schäuble, the first image I see is him sitting across from me at the table of the French cabinet in the Elysée Palace, the first German finance minister to participate in such a meeting.

I see him sitting at the negotiating table in Brussels, at one of our many meetings that ran long into the night.

I hear the straight talker who never shied away from difficult decisions.

I remember the dedicated public servant, a master of diplomacy with the intellectual ability to understand opposing viewpoints.

I see a natural statesman with the courage to stand by his convictions as well as the pragmatism to recognise the world as it is.

And I see a man of loyalty and kindness.

His success did not come through a forceful personality, but from understanding how to find common ground with others.

In today’s challenging environment of extreme views, his statesmanship and his philosophy of staying true to yourself and to your democratic institutions would have been welcomed.

I will miss you, my dear friend.

Christine Lagarde Instagram - Changes in labour markets, the energy transition and a deepening geopolitical divide are characterising the post-pandemic environment, says President @christinelagarde at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.
 
The return of high inflation globally is a visible consequence of these shifts. Our fight against inflation is not yet won. In this era of uncertainty, we need to set interest rates at sufficiently restrictive levels for as long as necessary to return inflation to our 2% target.
 
There are plausible scenarios where we could see a fundamental change in the nature of global economic relationships. To ensure stability and robust policymaking, we need:

🔵 Clarity on our objectives
🔵 Flexibility in our analysis
🔵 Humility in how we communicate

At the ECB, we frequently engage with young Europeans and listen to their views. I hope the advice I have shared at events over the past months, 
speaking from my own experience, will be of use to young people along whichever path they choose to follow.

We also sat down to discuss the latest monetary policy decisions and my first four years as ECB President.

While the decision whether to issue a digital euro will be taken later, we’re now launching the preparation phase.

Today, on International Women’s Day, I spoke about the importance of closing the gap at the Professional Women’s Network’s Global Summit. I want to share some thoughts:

▶️ Gender inequality persists in way too many sectors. Women need take their rightful place in the jobs and occupations that will define the future.

▶️ We need more entrepreneurs in Europe, but we are not getting the most out of female talent. Only 11% of EU start-ups are led by women.

To all women, don’t short yourself. Think big. Take risks.

It’s always important to exchange views and align when needed – and sometimes this includes to align visually as you can see!
 
We might have separate mandates, but we are united by our dedication to work for the ECB and for Europe 🇪🇺
 
After more than 25 years of the ECB and 10 years of the SSM it’s the “one bank spirit” that makes us stronger together.

Christine Lagarde - 2.9K Likes - When I think of the late Wolfgang Schäuble, the first image I see is him sitting across from me at the table of the French cabinet in the Elysée Palace, the first German finance minister to participate in such a meeting.

I see him sitting at the negotiating table in Brussels, at one of our many meetings that ran long into the night.

I hear the straight talker who never shied away from difficult decisions.

I remember the dedicated public servant, a master of diplomacy with the intellectual ability to understand opposing viewpoints.

I see a natural statesman with the courage to stand by his convictions as well as the pragmatism to recognise the world as it is.

And I see a man of loyalty and kindness.

His success did not come through a forceful personality, but from understanding how to find common ground with others.

In today’s challenging environment of extreme views, his statesmanship and his philosophy of staying true to yourself and to your democratic institutions would have been welcomed.

I will miss you, my dear friend.

We need to #AccelerateAction, advance women’s financial empowerment and take swift steps towards gender equality.

Christine Lagarde - 2.1K Likes - Changes in labour markets, the energy transition and a deepening geopolitical divide are characterising the post-pandemic environment, says President @christinelagarde at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.
 
The return of high inflation globally is a visible consequence of these shifts. Our fight against inflation is not yet won. In this era of uncertainty, we need to set interest rates at sufficiently restrictive levels for as long as necessary to return inflation to our 2% target.
 
There are plausible scenarios where we could see a fundamental change in the nature of global economic relationships. To ensure stability and robust policymaking, we need:

🔵 Clarity on our objectives
🔵 Flexibility in our analysis
🔵 Humility in how we communicate

Christine Lagarde - 1.5K Likes - Today I got to congratulate Minouche Shafik on becoming President of @columbia University, the first ever woman to hold that position.

It was a celebration of diversity at the highest level, and I see it as an encouragement to all women to dream big and to keep breaking new ground.
