Lagarde to Release Memoir in January as ECB Exit Talk Swirls
The memoir will be released in German on Jan. 29 and later in English as speculation grows that she may leave the ECB early.
- President Christine Lagarde will publish her autobiography, Lady First, in January as speculation intensifies about her potential departure from the European Central Bank before her term ends in October 2027.
- Lagarde collaborated with German journalist Marc Hujer, who previously authored a biography of Arnold Schwarzenegger, to write the book as a private activity conducted on her own time without using ECB resources.
- The memoir will "feature" prominent figures including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and rock star Bono, as Lagarde tells her story to inspire young women from modest backgrounds.
- Lagarde will likely face questions about her future during a press appearance following an ECB interest-rate meeting on Thursday, where investors anticipate a quarter-point hike announcement.
- Rumors persist that Lagarde may not complete her eight-year term at the ECB, as Bloomberg reported last month that the World Economic Forum is courting her for a leadership role at its annual gathering in Davos.
