00:00I have just informed my fellow policy makers and staff at the European Central Bank
00:06that I will be stepping down with effect on February 7th, 2027, after Monetary Policy Governing Council.
00:14It has been a great pride and a huge privilege to serve this institution
00:19and I want to thank all those who have contributed, supported and delivered on the mission that we have in
00:27Europe.
00:27Be a rock, be solid, deliver price stability, financial stability
00:32and I think that I leave this institution with a sense of good work done
00:40and an ECB that is fit for the future.
