Summary/Abstract: With Christine Lagarde set to become its next president, the European Central Bank (ECB) gets a leader with indisputable international authority and political experience, but rather distant from the hermetic group of experts on monetary policy. This will increase the likelihood that the expansive monetary policy initiated by Mario Draghi will continue: a perspective that will be beneficial mainly for France and the countries of Southern Europe.
