This market will resolve to “Yes” if Christine Lagarde ceases to be the President of the European Central Bank for any period of time between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Lagarde's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Christine Lagarde and the European Central Bank; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Christine Lagarde's non-renewable eight-year term as European Central Bank (ECB) president, running until October 2027, anchors the 83% "No" probability on her exit in 2026, as removal requires rare European Court of Justice action for serious misconduct. Recent ECB Governing Council meetings, including the October 17 decision to hold interest rates steady amid eurozone inflation nearing the 2% target and softening growth, unfolded without leadership disruptions or resignation signals. No official statements, scandals, or political pressures from EU institutions suggest early departure, reinforcing trader consensus on tenure stability ahead of the standard 2027 succession process.
