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 has repeatedly signaled her intent to serve out her full ECB term through October 2027, citing ongoing priorities such as consolidating price stability, advancing the digital euro project, and maintaining euro-area financial resilience. This stance directly counters February 2026 speculation of an earlier departure tied to French political timelines, with the ECB president describing completion of her mandate as the baseline scenario in both public remarks and internal communications. No official announcement or procedural step toward resignation has occurred, and Lagarde continues to lead monetary policy decisions and press conferences into 2026. Traders therefore assign an 81% implied probability that she will remain president through the end of the year, reflecting the absence of confirmed developments that would trigger an earlier exit.
