I am deeply shocked by the terrible attack in Kraków. My thoughts are with the victims, those injured and their families, and with the Polish people at this difficult time.
🇵🇱🇪🇺 Today, we remember the victims of the horrific attack in Kraków yesterday. Our thoughts are with all those affected. There can be no place for such violence in our society. To express our condolences, we join other European institutions in flying our flags at half-mast.

Energy is pushing up inflation numbers and food inflation has also increased, says President @Lagarde. But the underlying indicators are stable and we are currently not seeing signs of second-round effects beyond those incorporated in our projections ecb.europa.eu/press/inter/da…

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…

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.

We’ve just taken our latest monetary policy decisions, determined to ensure that inflation stabilises at our two percent target in the medium term. Tune in to Euro Matters to hear President Christine @Lagarde present the decisions in our press conference pod.link/ecbpodcast/episode/…

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!
