Nagel's Qualifications for ECB Leadership
BERLIN (Reuters) -The European Central Bank's Joachim Nagel said sitting on the governing council gives him and others the credentials required to succeed ECB President Christine Lagarde, in comments published by Germany's Spiegel news magazine on Thursday.
Eligibility of Central Bankers
"In principle, any central banker on the ECB governing council should be eligible to succeed to the top position in the euro system. External candidates with different profiles also have a chance," Nagel, president of Germany's Bundesbank, told the magazine.
Potential External Candidates
Lagarde's tenure as ECB head ends in October 2027.
