Candidates nominated for the presidency were Klaas Knot and Pablo Hernández de Cos. This discussion occurred as Christine Lagarde announced she would step down in February next year. Two other seats will also become vacant due to Isabel Schnabel joining the International Monetary Fund and Philip Lane's term ending in May 2027.
