Original: Merz to meet frontrunners for Lagarde job as ECB race heats up - Bloomberg
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is preparing to meet the leading candidates to replace Christine Lagarde as president of the European Central Bank, according to Bloomberg. The race to lead the institution is intensifying as Lagarde's term approaches its end, and Merz's meetings signal that Germany, the eurozone's largest economy, intends to play a decisive role in choosing the next ECB chief.
Why now: Lagarde's ECB presidency is nearing its end and Germany's chancellor is now directly engaging with candidates to shape the succession.
