Christine Lagarde

🇨🇾🇪🇺 Hello from Nicosia, Cyprus. I’m here for the Eurogroup and Ecofin meetings hosted by the Cypriot Presidency. Looking forward to good discussions.

🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦 Always a pleasure to see @NBUkraine Governor Andriy @Pyshnyy - this time in Paris during the G7 meetings.

In Paris for the #G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ Meeting. Good discussions on the global economic outlook with leaders from across the world.

Proud to have represented the euro at the International Charlemagne Prize ceremony in Aachen. #Karlspreis2026   📸 Karlspreis / Christian van't Hoen

As his term as Chair of the @federalreserve comes to an end, I wish Jerome Powell the very best. I witnessed first-hand his great leadership, his focus on his mandate, and his unwavering commitment to the public interest. He is a role model and a standard-setter for many. He will always be remembered.

Warm congratulations to Kevin Warsh on his confirmation as next Chair of the US @federalreserve. I very much look forward to working together.

What a day, celebrating the leadership of my friend and colleague Mario Draghi as he received the #Karlspreis2026. Congratulations again dear Mario!

Congratulations, congratulazioni, herzliche Glückwünsche, dear Mario!

Happy to see so many familiar faces this morning in Aachen as we celebrate the #Karlspreis2026 laureate Mario Draghi.

Good morning from Aachen where we are gathered to mark Mario Draghi’s contribution to Europe. Happy to see @EU_Commission President (and 2025 Charlemagne Prize laureate!) Ursula @vonderleyen at the Mass that traditionally precedes the award ceremony. #Karlspreis2026

Delighted to be with my predecessors Jean-Claude Trichet and Mario Draghi in Aachen to celebrate Mario receiving the Charlemagne Prize. #Karlspreis2026

Congratulations, dear Mario, on receiving the Charlemagne Prize. You exemplify true European statesmanship: answering the call when it mattered most and helping Europe emerge stronger. Your “whatever it takes” commitment showed the euro is irreversible. #Karlspreis2026

Warm congratulations to Fabio Panetta, Governor of @bancaditalia and former @ecb Executive Board Member, on his appointment as Chair of the @BIS_org Board of Directors. His extensive experience makes him well suited to the role. I wish him every success.

🇪🇺🇮🇳 I met @RBI Governor Malhotra in Basel to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation in the field of central banking. Looking forward to continued good cooperation. Read the press release ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/…

Happy Europe Day 🇪🇺 We celebrate a Union built on peace and unity. In a challenging world, these values matter more than ever - guiding us to stay connected, support each other and keep shaping a future we can believe in.
